you can put a breather, but the charcoal caniister alos vents the gas tank, so you have to do something with that.

Just think of it as a gas filter for your air. It stores Fuel vapors from your crankcase
and your gas tank. Then, when you start the engine it draws them from your canister
and burns the vapors.
Granted the Quantity of fuel lost is relatively small, but as my screen-name suggests,
these things are kinda/sort-of important to me.

DO NOT PLUG IT, i just ran a hose from the vent side under the car. but do not plug it, ive heard of dangerous pressure building up before, with not so very good results. it basiclly vents your gas tank.
