Is this why you would need a vented gas cap ?

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). > > I could understand if there was a vacuum in the tank -- but not pressure!
