>>>Well, you don't need a fuel camp that vents (if that is what you are 
suggesting) because the tank itself already has a vent (the outlet that leads to 
the canister from question 1).   You don't need TWO vents on the tank.

In fact, fuel caps are supposed to *not* vent; that's actually a part of our 
smog inspection here in California.
