Default name that part

there is a part on the car that i am not sure what purpose it serves. it is a black plastic cylindrical shaped piece that is behind the right (passenger) fog lamp right in the vacinity of the horn. it is probably 6 inches long or so if i had to guess. there is a very small plastic hose running to it if i remember correctly. what is this part for?

Hmm it might be the thing that your extra radiator fluid/coolant goes? It runs next to the battery... WILD guess.

Off topic. What color is your camaro? I see a white z running around sometimes in the bethalto area... Look for me and let me know who you are. I don't have any friends around with ls1s lol It's easy to find me... black ws6 w/ black rims.
