I would assume they're there to vent gasses when you fill up, or a similar function.

When you fill up, the air in the tank needs a way to get out, or you'll end up with gas backing up on you. Why there's two of them I'm not sure, unless one is used in conjunction with the fuel pump, in which case it may be for fule overflow from the fuel pump. Either way, I'd suggest you keep them intact to at least some degree.
