It is also part of the breather system,
that lets air back into tank, as you use fuel.
If its not there, a full tank of fuel, and parked in sun,
can lead to fuel leak and loss.
It can also syphon out your fuel in a roll or flop.

Mine clogged up, so was removed temporarily.
I put a breather pipe on tank, ran it high up on car,
never had a problem since
