i got a 300ex for my girlfriend and saw that little tank too, well what it is, is a seperation tank for the crankcase vent, blowby and fumes from the oil pressureize the crankcase, this has to go somewhere, it is sucked into the intake tube from the passing airflow, the large surface area inside that tank lets the oil in the fumes settle out and then drain back into the crankcase through the lower tube, a simple reliable system with no external vent to get dirty and clog, lates... josh....
