I removed my canister and blocked the vacuum hoses then joined the top and bottom hose together.

My understanding is its there to vent pressure from the fuel tank but apparently by joining the pipes it still vents somewhere under the car, could be wrong but not had any problems with my N/A with it removed. :thumleft:
