Question I don't know what this is...

Can anyone tell me what this hose is for on my 93 SC400? It's located under the car directly beneath the battery. Found it when I took off the weather guard...

I'm not 100% sure but it seems like it's a tube from the windshield washer reservoir that might have come off

If it's beneath the battery, could it be a drain for the battery tray?

i have a tube like that on my sc300 not connected to anything. it connects to the bottom of the battery tray to drain any water buildup. it can also be for the a/c system for the same purpose.

Cool. Thanks for the input you guys I'll look in to those :] I'm glad it's not anything that would cause my car to blow up in time... Kinda figured it wasn't anything horrible but reassurance is mind-settling.
