What is that strange black cylinder in the trunk?

My uncle thinks its the fuel pump, my father thinks its some kind of active suspension module. Its a 92 GXE without the electronic package so i tend to doubt the latter unless you could get the Sonar without.

Sorry if this question has been asked 1000 times before, but i couldnt find any recent posts on it.

It's just deadweight. I think its there to balance the car or to help with the weight distribution.

it's either a 10 or 12 or 14 mm bolt. Get your socket and ratchet it off there. Is it ok? I can't give a 100% answer on there, but it must be there for some reason. Only one way to find out though, right?
