Just an 'ole school charcoal canister..........Just like when coffee came in a metal can, and now in a plastic "can".......Ford ran out of metal coffee cans back then........LOL
Just a guess but it looks like a reservoir for gasoline fumes from the carb or tank that get sucked into the engine when the engine’s running.

I guess when it warms up and I can get back at the tanks and pumps, I'll trace the lines coming off of it and see where they go. This can is in front of the fuel filter under the drivers side.

You have a 1990 E150 listed, the Vacuum Canister for this era should be on the passenger side, outside the frame, under the passenger seat, and a black plastic box.
Not the one you listed from ebay, that's real old school canister. The plastic canister don't rot out, but they do crack, or the line will rot/crack, and you'll smell gas in that area.
The one you listed is not the one I'm taking about. I may have one like that on the passenger side but I haven't seen it. The one I listed is on the driver side under the door just in front of the fuel filter.
When I get a chance I will try to look into this a bit more...
E = 1980's
0 = the actual year the part was designed... 1980
S = product line code S= Thunderbird
Z = Design Responsibility Code. Z= Ford Customer Service Division (Ford), Product Analysis and Publications
-
9E453 = Basic part number. in this case 9E453 is a vacuum canister.
-
B = The part number suffix normally indicates a change in the design of the part. Most parts start with an A and if a revision is made then it goes to a B

The one Wcwinans has has 3 ports but one looks to be blocked off..
Later in the thread NumberDummy shows E3SZ-19A566-B to be the correct part number and is used for "Use with factory installed A/C or Hi/Lo Comfort Vent System" https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post19385710
It appears that though it has an "S" in the prefix number, it is used for several applications. The letter "U" is typically used in parts for our vans while "T" is trucks. Sometimes they are interchangeable though..
But like Conanski stated, it is a vacuum reservoir. As I mentioned in the other post, they are normally used is situations where you need to keep vacuum when you are in WOT or pulling a hill and have the throttle open a good bit. Yours could be original or perhaps was replaced. The one JWA reference should do the job and is plastic so it will not rust out but will crack with age. Will we have our older vans in 20 years?
I am still able to find all three types of canister at the wrecking yards in my area
New ones are not expensive either but nobody has one right now
The problem is always the mounting and I like stock placement or OEM parts
The older truck coffee can type ones break the bolts off when you remove the inner fender panel for other repairs
I find the exact replacement for my clients but any one you find or want to use will work
All they do is hold some vacuum on reserve for wide open throttle when no vacuum is present
Supplies to the HVAC and in the old days the transmission vacuum modulator
Defrost is the default mode for if the hvac system if it looses vacuum
So if your plastic canister cracks or your coffee can rusts out you will have defrost only
