Just a little note. When I took my tank off I noticed that the tank drain was horribly corroded around the nipple. This was a stupid design fault on Triumph's part - they put an aluminium nipple into a copper captive, nut effectively creating a battery the minute water came down through the hole. Mine was so corroded that the nipple was half gone and the hole completely blocked. Thankfully I don't normally have to park in the rain but if I did I would have most likely ended up with water in my petrol - bad all round.
Bern's advice is good in that as well as knowing what is what on you bike, blowing this line out periodically is probably not a bad thing to do. I do now just to be sure as any blockage will be a problem in the wet eventually.
Take it easy - oh and be careful with those horrible little 'o' rings when reconnecting the fuel lines.
