Name that part...

What is this weird skinny battery looking thing next to my actual battery?

it has a black 1/2" rubber hose going into it. Might be around 12"x12"x4"

1993 F-250 5.8

Between the battery and the coolant hose, middle left

Looks like a charcoal canister to me. Part of the smog system that collects gasoline fumes as they evaporate in your gas tank. When you start your engine, a valve opens that allows the fumes to be sucked into the engine and burned. My diesel doesn't have one.
