There's plenty of threads about this if you do a search. I removed mine and haven't had any problems, and a couple of other members have as well and haven't had any negative effects. Just put a cap over the vacuum and put a breather on the vent line coming from this gas tank.

mine was bad and smelled of gas anyways so I removed it. No issues, but the envirmentalists will argue and hate you for doing it.

All the more reason to do it imo.

What is the advantage of doing that?

I believe the charcoal is supposed to absorb the gasoline fumes from the gas tank vent so they don't pollute the environment...

yes it is but as I said mine did not, and the advantage to removing it made my underhood alot cleaner and more room.

IMo asking what's the benefit of removing it is like asking why did you lower your truck? just because ya want to that's about it.
