It takes vapors out of the normally pressure sealed gas tank, when the evap solenoid opens, and lets the engine burn them off.

You can replace it with a rubber fuel line. If you want to keep the quick connect fittings, just take a box cutter and lightly cut the nylon tubing lengthwise over the barbs on the fitting, and then the line will split off the fitting, and you can keep the fittings. Find some rubber fuel hose, shove the fittings up in there, and away you go.

You might get a SES light because the gas tank is supposed to be sealed.
