Isn't it supposed to catch evaporating fuel vapors when the engine is off, and store them so they can be sucked into the engine and burned when it's running? So wouldn't you expect some small decrease in fuel economy if you removed it?

I'd say pull it out, find the leak (if it's not in the hoses), and use some glue/sealant to plug it.
