What are these for

Dunno how or why you'd removed them...
they attached to the vent/bleeder above & below the metal clamp on the tank, preventing named hose from slipping down/getting pulled up while handling the cap...

Wonder if they are on Lady, will look at bath time.
Wouldn't normally come off that hose...
But I managed to nick a photo showing the location:
Question,does that hose go to a Carbon canister?
Nope, just a vent tube. Air can go in as the tank empties, but doesn't go out. No elaborate emissions control besides the AIR system on the 1100.

Are they intended to fit tightly to the tubing and snug up to the hose clamp on the tank? Mine are loose and slid down the tube.Wouldn't normally come off that hose...

Weird, never moved mine, they appear being glued into place or so...
You might consider substituting them with nice, quality, black zip-ties...

I put one on and located it where the tank clamp is. When the clamp screw is tightened it holds the tube snugly.
Those plastic bushings might as well just be simple indicators for assembly line workers and/or any mechs dealing with that breather hose later on...
Never tempered with mine, will be at the shed on Friday and check on my stored treasures if those are indeed loose or firmly attached...
A spares fiche doesn't help, it lists that vent line simply as a standard TUBE,FUEL.4.5X550, P/N 950014555040...

OP
There’s what I did. Put one piece on the tube and clamped it.
