It is a carbon canistor. It absorbs fumed from the fuel tank. There should be no liquid going through it.
I removed mine from my car and I've got the bare hoses venting to air.

cheers it's actually sprayed yellow liquid, quite thin wtf is it (brake fluid?) so i'm guessing he just assumed it came from the canister.
