I need to know what this device is. Is it for controlling the heater?

 

I'm standing on the left side of a 2003(?) Birkin with the Zetec engine, so the left side of the photo is towards the front of the car.

 

On the left of these photos are the spark-plug wires heading forward to the engine.

 

On the right of these photos is the heater core with two heater hoses coming out of it.

 

In the middle of these photos is the gizmo I want to identify. It's in my way. If it is needed only for the heater, I would like to make it go away. I do not need a working heater. I can bag it and tag it.

Are those fuel lines? Is that an FPR?
