charcoal canister soaks up extra fuel that does not get the cylinders more like purging i guess. Not quite sure what the mechanics are behind it, but i know thats what it does. U dont really need it, but again it does not rob u of power or anything.

its fuel vapor, not any other toxic vapor. So if u wanna get rid of it for whatever purpose. Just put a hose and have it under the car, away from the intake of the cabin. But do know u will be smelling fuel and stuff. Besides, why would u wanna do it anyway? u can hide it and still have it functioning.
