Going full cross post, but I'm at my witrs end with this issue.

Does anyone know if bypassing this little tank on the line that goes to the charcoal canister will cause major fuel starvation, vapor lock type issues?

I don't see how it would, but mine doesn't have it, and ever since I unplugged the filler neck vent and have been able fill the tank all the way, I've been having tons of sputtering and dieng issues.
 
My understanding is it's to prevent liquid fuel making it's way to the charcoal canister. I don't know if it's the cause of your issues, but it does serve a purpose.

Right, I figured it would be OK with out it, but I'm not sure. I guess any catch can will work really.
