plastic part on fuel line fell apart when unhooking them

Hey Guys,

I was unhooking my fuel lines where the metal meets the rubber coming from the fuel tank, one of the lines goes into a plastic white/yellowish looking circle type thing(this part fell apart)

The top part came off it so now its in two parts. what is this part so I can get a new one

Could have this been the fuel pump issues all along?


Thanks
Donnie H.

If it was mounted down by the left rear tire, that was the fuel tank vent valve. Should be changed every so often. They carry those at the dealership, the last time I checked at Autozone and Advance Auto they gave me some funny looks when I asked about one. This has been a couple of years ago so they may carry them now.
