Re: What is this by the gas tank? '85 GT

["Anthony K.B. Chan" <chan@seattleu.edu>]

I think it is another fuel filter, the fuel accumulator is made of metal 
and it's a bit bigger and also there are two hose fitting on the same 
end on the accumulator. You can probably call a dealer up and read them 
the part number and see if they know what it is.
