It's actually a damper.

It serves as a hydraulic shock absorber of sorts. Electric fuel pumps don't produce a totally smooth, seamless flow of fuel. To the contrary, fuel pump output pulses, and ultimately this pulsing can cause noises downstream in the fuel rail. Of course, the risk of hydraulic noise in the fuel system varies from vehicle to vehicle and system to system.
