EVAP control system pressure sensor??....where and what is this?

So my check engine light came on, I diagnosed it and found it to be my EVAP control system pressure sensor. I have no idea what this piece is, ive already replaced several parts of my Evap system, but i dont know what or where this is. Can anybody provide some insight and maybe a picture of what it is? Also, will it hurt anything for me to drive with this broken? Gas milage?

No, if it is an evaporative system issue, then gas mileage & performance are not really affected.

Oxygen sensors and other engine control devices, now that is a different story.

The only extra gas milage you get out of the evap system is whatever evaporates out of your tank when your car is parked, which is not too much.
