I don't know about the fuel tank pressure sensor, but I had the p1441 (evap purge solenoid) for the longest, until I finally fixed it. Doesn't hurt anything, and in fact, lots of the people on here w/ minimalist engine bays delete evap altogether.
If you feel like deleting it, you'll just have to delete the code on your pcm mail order tune.
But to fix it, I replace the canister in driver side rear wheel well and removed the lines next to the intake manifold and the solenoid itself and cleaned out as much of the carbon deposits from inside them as I could.
Just shook them out, and pushed compressed air through it.
Light went away after I cleaned out the deposits from the lines and replaced w/ a new purge solenoid.
