What's this connector?

Noticed the other day while my Camaro (1990 IROC, 350 TPI) was on a lift, that there is a connector on the left frame rail (as you're looking toward the front of the car) near to the fuel tank. It's about 1 1/2" in diameter & is connected to rubber hoses going into & out of it. When I looked in the plug there appears to be small holes around the inside of it, no pins so it's not an electrical connection. I think it may be some kind of emissions thing? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Randy

Sounds like your fuel filter.

Thanks for the reply but it's not the fuel filter, I know what & where that is. Built a few old cars in my time. Not used to these newer ones with all the computer & emissions crap on.

Re: What's this connector?

Could it be the tank vent?
