Default Please help! - What is this?

Hi guys,

Sorry to probably be a bit dumb here, but can anyone tell me what this is (see pic).

I have a 1996 Ram 1500 (indy 500 special edition).

I always thought it was a fuel pump but where ever I look it tells me I have an in-tank pump and I cant find one of these for sale anywhere!

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Charcoal canister. It's part of the evaporative emissions system on your truck.

if you are wanting to buy a new one, it'll be dealer only, or junkyard.
very expensive at dealer.
$25-50 (maybe) at junkyard

why do you think you need a new one?
is yours torn off or damaged?
