Arrow where does this hose from the expansion tank go?

I found this hose just hanging not connected to anything. What is it suppose to be hooked up to?

I think it's the overflow hose. It's supposed to hang out so that excess liquid spills onto the ground.

yup, its just in case the expansion tank is too full to catch all the overflow, like if your car is wAAYYY too hot.

Or if your car is like mine, it vents about a third of your coolant any time you get the engine hot because your loose coolant hose and old worn-out expansion tank cap are both allowing air into the system...... Thankfully i finally fixed that problem.
