It's to filter the fumes from your gas tank (on hot days). If one of the vents/tubes is partially plugged, it might make sounds...

On hot days, the gas fumes have to go somewhere as they expand...they'll leak out from somewhere (e.g. through your gas cap?) and stink.

Although gas fumes are flammable, it's not really unsafe to remove. The gas fumes quickly get too diluted in air to be flammable/explosive. It's just stinky and emissions-unfriendly...
