1995 850 GLT hit a pot hole something is hanging down

[galerie]

I hit a pot hole today, flattened my tire, had AAA change it, however when I got home I notice something hanging down from underneath the battery in front of the tire, looks to be a round cylinder, does anyone know what that could be. from what I felt, it was as round and sort of tall. From what I can tell from the haynes manual could it be the evap charcoal canister. I am taking my car to get my tire fixed tomorrow and will probably have to get that fixed as well, but want to know what it is first, so I don't get ripped off.

any help would be appreciated.

Most likely it is the charcoal cannister that is part of the EVAP system. I've had a couple of them come loose and I use giant zip ties to re-secure them.
