You might find info about this in the manual with different schematics from non- canister bikes. The canister could be for fuel vapor management. The Terminator of CA (and his predecessors) are quite strict on emissions. Many bikes including mine don't have that canister  also try the huge amount of info clicking around on the years gone by... somebody has done it or talked about it already. good luck

Hi ZX14fan, I read the manual (Spanish version) and in the last page of the Fuel System chapter (3...page 144) it shows a diagram that includes everything for fuel tanks that comes with three outlet-pipes. So the main outlet (left) should be the line feeding the engine with fuel, then comes the red dotted one on the right, that it is the return line, and finally the blue dotted one on the right that it is the "breather". The canister where these color dotted lines are connected is a separator. Hope this helps, as I was as puzzled as you are when I had an accident and bought a new tank that came with only one freaking pipe outlet  .......now I have an extra fuel tank...good for nothing as my bike needs a three outlet one (had to repair the old one).
Hugs,
David

I just got through removing the canister and lines from my california 14. Facing forward on the bike, the far right nipple on the tank is a fuel return line for the charcoal canister...plug it. The next one to the left of that one is a breather line, zip tie a small piece of foam around it and leave it open. The nipple on the far left of the tank is the overflow line, hook it to your overflow tube that runs under the bike. Remove the charcoal cannister and assorted hardware, and plug the lines that go to the throttle bodies, or cap them off at the throttle bodies themselves, and you're done

Right on the overflow line! , sorry about that...the fuel pump is the one feeding the engine.
