Well, I can't really see what it is exactly. Can you get a picture that's zoomed in a little tighter?
Are you sure one of the lines goes to the m/c?

Have you ever seen a car in the hot sun in the summer time with the gasoline running out of the filler and down the side of the car. Used to happen frequently in Florida when I was younger. The high temperatures made the gas expand and it would overflow due to vapor and expansion. That box is supposed, I believe, to fix that problem. It gives the vapors and gas someplace to go.

Those hoses look like they've about had it...
I've never understood what this tank does as opposed to the other gas venting tank under the fender....
