Default What Engine part is this?

I have managed to snap a plastic hose joiner/restrictor type thing whilst installing my FMIC. Does anyone know what it is as I need to order a new one and have not got a clue what to ask for.
thanks
will

If I'm not mistaken that's the evaporation canister for the fuel system that it's connected to. There's one of those on one of boost solenoid lines as well I think. I reckon they're just a restrictor or inline filter. But if anyone actually knows I'd love to hear it.

I think youl find they are 1way valves to stop the fuel vapors returning to the tank. Should have an arrow on it for flow direction.

Well I just tried blowing some air through it. If I blow in the direction of the arrow (left to right in the picture, a nice north westerly breeze) then it wont flow at all up to a certain point at which it seems to just flow enough to releive the pressure, blow in the opposite direction and it flows freely.

Stank of fuel vapours when I broke it so its defo fuel related.
