Looks like a Fuel Pressure Regulator to me.

That looks very much like a fuel pressure damper. The fuel pressure regulator, in 99% of vehicles is located in the tank and is controlled by the ECU, not manifold vacuum. The fuel pressure damper simply prevents fuel pressure spikes.

Huh? I think that precentage is backwards. It should read 99% of vehicles fuel pressure regulators are located outside the fuel tank.

My vote as well. Looks a lot like the bosch unit on an Audi/VW.

nope thats a fuel damper read the pic that says fuel delivery tube with damper, also notice there is no vacuum input line which is on a fpr

Edit the FPR is officially in tank on our cars as well as the filter pump and level sensor
