Ahh haa. So it would apear that it came from a car.
One goes into the pump and one goes into the intake. Then has a short piece of hose connecting the intake to the water pump.

Don't see any reason that bypassing the tubes will make any difference, except less connections and cleaner routing.

Thanks for all the research on this.
