Its the evaporative emissions stuff that feeds the charcoal cannister and the evap stuff on the manifold. Take it off and you usually have fuel vapor smells in the car in my experience.

Is it supposed to make a humming sound when pressure is applied to the tank or does that mean it's bad?

would have to check a service manual on that. i know they are diaphragm type valves that relase the pressure into the lines but i have never had to mess with the obd0 systems since they never throw a code...
