That sounds like the accumulator to me.

I'm not sure whether you can source a brand new one, but Crazyquiff should be able to sort you out with a replacement 2nd hand one.

Accumulates fuel.

It smooths out the pressure pulses from the pump and helps retain the fuel pressure, to prevent fuel vapourisation for a hot-start situation.
