What is this line? And why is it sweating?
Ok. So I was just doing my routine check to make sure my meth nozzles weren't leaking.
Today was a REALLY hot day for where I live, so my AC has been blowing all day.
I look in the engine bay and notice that this line is sweating moisture quite a bit.
It scared me a bit as I thought I was leaking meth on my intake, but noticed that it's dripping from above.
Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

It is normal. The canister where this line is hooked too is a fuel cooler. Only for north american cars, this feature cooled the fuel going back to the reservoir to reduce fuel vapor inside the reservoir in very hot weather environment. So the big line got freon (R134) inside it and the smaller one got fuel....

Fuel is cooled only with the a/c "on". Of course the engine having to turn the compressor there is a lost of h.p.. I was told you can loose up to 20 horsepower on a hot humid day....
