Default overflow tube location for gas filler

Where does the overflow tube just below the gas filler empty out at? I did a quick underbody inspection and didn't see it. Mine is plugged and I want to take it apart and clean it out.

Not sure if I understand, but: I just replaced the rubber boot that is inside the area where you open the door to get to the gas cap. Even though the boot looks like it has a drain, and there is a piece molded into the bottom of it that looks like you could put a hose on it, it is a solid piece of rubber with no hole in it. Looks like it may have been intended at one point to include a drain hose for that area, but clearly both the one I took off my 968, and the new one never functioned that way.

There is a little metal tube with a flared end. The flared end goes on the visible side of the large rubber piece to keep it from pulling through. Then a hose connects to the other end and runs out next to the right rear sunroof drain hose.

The PET shows a decent diagram, in case this crude description doesn't do it.
