Yep, it's the anti buzz thing that the dealerships used to use when people complained their HDis used to make an irritating buzzing noise.

Yeah it dampens the fuel line.
Almost all HDi do this when you turn them on, but some are really bad.
I was certain later cars had a redesigned fuel line system with a more elegant implementation of it, and this was a retrofit option.
