    you don't really need it (unless your state/province/country does emissions testing) but it does not cause any power loss.

    Typically, they're filled with activated charcoal that "hold" excessive vapor emissions coming out of your tank (liquid too?) and get sucked back into the intake system usually because they're under a slight vacuum.

    don't remove it without a good understanding of which "holes" you're gonna hafta block (a couple) and which you leave open (tank vent).
