hi, and welcome to FF,
looks like it's probably an emissions related breather line / valve


better to post in the Uno section , as your year of Uno may well be ZA only,

The way it's been fitted, it doesn't look original.

was wondering.. although some ZA Uno's were assembled by Nissan..!!??

you'd also assume it would need some pipework attached to work correctly..??

It does not look original. Neither is the in-line fuel filter, but that is a good addition.
Trace the wiring to see where the other end goes.

With the pipe connections, and electrical connection I would expect it to be a shut-off valve.
1. Fuel, was going to be set into the fuel line to shut off when engine stopped to prevent the engine running on after ignition turned off. (Most likely)
2. As above but an anti-theft measure.
2. Breather, to close the breather to prevent blow-by gases being ingested an burning at certain times. Unlikely, but I have seen this on something many years ago, but more likely on old diesels. The valve looks too small for this.

it's not dissimilar to the later petrol IE Tipo's had..

but we ( in the UK) didn't get any small FIAT's ( panda / Uno) at this year = ~@2002

as I said earlier - SOME of the ZA Uno's were a "novel build" so we in the UK can only hazard a guess..,

tracing the wiring back MAY help though

it looks like an anti run on valve
