Hey gang,
What purpose does that blue cannister on the passenger side of the engine bay serve? It has a hose that leads to the air cleaner and some other lines that go down below... Is this some sort of air filter for somthing maybe or an emmisions gadget?

That's the charcoal cannister. It collects fuel vapor from the gas tank in a charcoal medium to be burned when the engine runs.
