Number 5 is actually a bolt (circled numbers get referred to on the right), I'm guessing you actually mean number 1. It stores the gasoline fumes created by evaporation in the tank, so that they don't escape to atmosphere.

It stores the fumes created by the gasoline. Its an emmissions thing. Similar to the HEALY system required in all gas stations now to retrieve all the fumes from the gasoline.

If you remove it, you probably want to save some weight

, you'll smell like gas every time you enter your ride.

Every modern car has this same thing. Removing it will cause a check engine light.
