What does a "Fuel Sleeve" do?

I posted a picture of this thing about a week ago to see what it was. Someone wrote me, said it was a fuel overflow piece.

I called a parts place for it, he said its real name is a Fuel Sleeve. It fell off the car months ago, it's dryrotted. I thought it was a rubber end piece to a water drain, for rain water or whatever. It's obviously not a real important part, as the car runs fine, but I do wonder, what is it's function?
