What is the box behind the rear axle?

While changing my rear shocks and springs I noticed a box mounted behind the rear axle. What is it? Fuel pump and filter? http://i857.photobucket.com/albums/ab140/qwikredline/DSCN0368.jpg

And it's very easy to damage if you try to "squeeze" extra fuel in after the pump clicks off at the gas station.

Bumping more gas in can force raw gasoline into the canister, which will kill the canister and lead to a salty repair bill.
