it has something to do with the storage and retrieval of gas tank fumes from the carbon canister mounted down low up front on the passenger side of the car. supposedly, the fumes are stored in the crankcase when the engine is off and are sucked back into the intake manifold when the engine is started if everything is hooked up correctly and working. if you don't use it, worse case you might be getting some dilution of the engine oil with gas, but I don't think it would be a lot.
