Usually the lower, larger diameter hose is for coolant to flow between bottle and radiator. The upper, smaller diameter hose is for venting air from radiator to bottle. Some coolant bottles have three hose connections: lowest for coolant, another for venting air from radiator to bottle, and a third for draining coolant in case of excessive expansion. That one is usually at the very top by filler neck.
