All tanks have to have a vent.With out a vent they would pressure feed the carb when the tank heated up from the hot engine.If the tank never got hot a vacuum would form and no gas would flow.Many tractor operators have been sprayed with gas when they opened a hot pressurized tank and the gas has ignited and burned them.The new caps have a check valve that prevents gas leakage if the tractor is rolled over.Ever leave a partly filled plastic gas can in the sun and watch it swell up when the vent is closed.
