You may end up with fuel in the vapor line back to the engine. If this happens, you could get a misfire. I would replace it.

Other than the possibility of a misfire which would cause a hesitation, no.

You'll probably eventually get an SES light. It's part of the emissions equipment. I would definitely recommend replacing it.
