Not enough info as to what line you are referring to. Post a pic and you might get an accurate answer.

Redacted per Title 18 USC Section 798
EVAP purge line.

Edit: Guess I should explain that. It goes to the BVSV on the t-stat housing then on to the EVAP cannister. It's how the engine burns fuel vapor sent from the tank that got stored in the canister. Put another way to prevent HC emissions the fuel system is supposed to be sealed...
