Need help identifying two lines that run under car?

Was wondering what these two lines are on the drivers side that go behind the metal? Car is a 2005 c230

It splits a bit forward. Follow them back to the brake rotors...or look at the parking brake system to confirm if you wish

Oh now I see... that's the transmission pan at the top of photo and the front left tire is in the shot.

My guess is that those two lines are fuel related. One is probably from the fuel pump, and the other is from the charcoal canister for the evaporative fuel emissions.

Fuel lines are metal and go to the rear seat. Also under the shielding.

According to multiple diagrams and videos there is only one line that runs to the equalizer that is under the rear seat and than it splits into two lines? Anyone know what the two black lines could be than?
