Help Identifying!

Hey all, whilst removing the alternator, smog pump, etc. accessory bracket, noticed this thing had been cut into by the inner plastic wheel well piece. Can't seem to find anything about it, maybe something to do with vacuum? Truck has been running fine as far as I could tell haha

Anyone know what this is, where to find another, or if it is even worth the time and effort to fix?

Thanks!

1995 F150 302
(looking towards the rear of the truck, passenger side)

Back to the top for you. Don't know what it is, but you've got me interested to hear what others have to say about it!
Almost looks like something meant to be a baffle or resonator for an intake system, but the hose sizes and it's location would seem to negate that thought.

Can you tell where the hoses go?

Good luck.

Paul

I too think it is some inline muffler for the smog pump

It looks like it is connected to some of the smog stuff.

That is quite odd looking. Can you tell where the two hoses that connect to it go to?

It is a part of the fuel system for vapors.

That is part of the smog pump, likely for noise- wouldn't worry about it. Put some duct tape over it if you're worried lol.
