What is this thing?
I have a 1993 F150 4x4 with a 5.0 Liter 302. In my engine compartment when im standing in front facing the cab, on the left side there is a black plastic jug with at least one hose running to the throttle body. It has two seperate caps on it and looks kind of like an oil jug. It's attached to the bottom right side of the battery box. This might be a really stupid question but i have no clue as to what it is so any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Carbon Canister
Has nothing to do with the EGR system.
Description
The fuel vapors from the fuel tank and air cleaner assembly are stored in the carbon canister until the vehicle is operated. During operation, the vapors will purge from the canister into the engine for consumption. There are two canister sizes, 925 ml and 1400 ml carbon. Canisters are sometimes used in pairs when the vehicle has a large fuel tank or dual fuel tanks.
Functional Check
* There are no moving parts and nothing to wear in the canister.
* Check for loose, missing, cracked or broken connections and parts.
* There should be no liquid in the canister.
