I don't have it. You can kinda smell gas sometimes. Other than that I have not noticed anything bad. I think I just left the line from the tank open, I can't remember what I did with the other lines. Reason I pulled mine was because one of the plastic nipples broke off.

i dont know if i would cap the lines there purpose is venting out the fumes. Why do you want to remove it anyway?
part of the evaporative emissions system..
there is also a vent to atmosphere hose at the bottom of the cannister....
imho...i dont see a need to remove it for notions of weight reduction..
as it weighs ounces...and the purpose of uncluttering your engine bay..
as you can relocate this fairly easily...
no offense to those who have done so but this is an example of oversimplification..

lol I knew at leat one person would ask "why do you want to remove it?" but sidewinder beat me to to it 
Its not for weight savings at all, if I cared about that I wouldnt have a stero or nice wheels! lol I just want as little as possiple under the hood it looks good un cluttered. Im thinkin if I wanted to I could move it up front where the W/S squirter bottle is in the fender but..........thats a little more trouble than I feel like. I will proably just end up venting that one line under the car some where

i dont know why youd want to remove it, its tucked away in the back and all the lines run along the firewall. Plus, the smell of fuel when you remove it is not something i take lightly. Just leave it be.
