Question Wondering what a certain part is

Howdy,

I am in the middle of trying to pull the master relay out and I noticed this round object that has a piece of plastic tubing going from it and disappearing to the engine compartment. I have been trying to figure out what it is. Just from the color of the liquid it might be a gas line. This has got me a bit concerned.

Of course with my crappy eyesight it could just be some other fluid.

This is a 1989 Honda Accord LXI, FI.
I promised the car that if the repair went smoothly it would get a good washing and cleaning. Needless to say it will not be getting the wash

I will try but it is up behind everything (upper left corner past the fuse box). It is about 4 -5 inches across, black, and I want to say, reminds me of a flat pump.

Finally found a picture of the fuel line, So it is probably not that (wrong side of car). But it is just that little nudge that will drive me to drink trying to figure out what this is

89 LXi is it a 4 door. If so, I'm guessing that would be the moon roof drain tube. It runs down the window pillar, then under the fuse panel connects to the "elbow" going to the outside of the car....actually has a vent to/from the power antenna motor connecting to it as well.

The brake booster vac line is under the hood and is a black rubber hose. It runs from the tb/intake to the "can" behind the mater cyl. Not in the dash.
