What is this box?

The mystery box
I've been scouting around under my 98 xj, and found this cover/box. I noticed a steel line apparently coming from the fuel tank that goes into it. There are two rubber( I suppose) lines leaving and heading to the front of the jeep. One of them looks badly burned near the manifold, but is not connected to anything at the motor.
I thought I would post a picture here and hope maybe someone may recognize what it is. I'm still chasing a low fuel pressure code down and anything that looks like it goes into or out of the fuel tank is suspect.
Thanks in advance.

I was wondering the same thing. I was replacing my cracked 0631 head and noticed the larger tube from this “box” looked mangled or melted where it passes behind the #6 cylinder. The tube just terminates a few feet away so I figured it wasn’t too important to worry about and left it alone.
