Is this why you would need a vented gas cap ?

some gasoline. When I twisted the gas tank cap to remove it, there was
enough pressure in the tank to almost blow the cap out of my hand. I put
about 6 gallons of gasoline in, and drove home. When I got home I removed
the cap again, and again there was already a significant amount of pressure
in the tank. This has happened at least one other time this year, and a few
times last year - but this doesn't occur every time I remove the cap
immediately after driving (short or long distance).
