As you use gas from the tank, there needs to be a path for air to 
get in the tank to replace the gas that has been used. If there is no 
vent, the air pressure forces on the outside of the tank can crush 
the tank. You NEED a vent somewhere.

If there is another vent that you can use, that's fine, but otherwise 
this one is necessary. I had always assumed that this connection 
went straight into the tank, but I suppose it's possible that once it 
enters it turns upward to the high point of the tank.
