Can you post a photo of it? It sounds like either the evap canister as Snoopy says, or the vacuum tank which is only fitted to some cars and is mounted on the ABS modulator bracket. Didn't think that had three stubs though...

Is it possible a previous owner replaced the ABS modulator incl. bracket with one from a scrapyard? That'd explain the presence of the tank but no pipework!
