For cleaner air. its just another pollution/emisssions device. It take the fumes from your gas tank and routes them through the engine, to burn them I guess.
In the meantime, the charcoal holds the fumes, instead of venting them to the atmoshpere.
This was never on older cars, its just a pollution control
