What is the purpose of a fuel tank vent?
The fuel tanks need ventilation in order to allow the fuel to continue to pump without causing a vacuum. This can either be through the gas cap itself, or via some sort of breather tube. The latter is usually routed up higher than the tank, before exiting below it, in order to prevent spillage if the tank is overfilled, or possible siphoning.
What is the use of a vent hole in the filler cap?
A vent hole is provided in filler cap to allow escape of vapors generated and collected in the head space above liquid level in the tank. These vapors are produced due to working temperature in the tank. Inability to release these vapors may cause increase in pressure inside that could pose a safety hazard.
