Vented vs. Un-vented Fuel Tanks

It started leaking though, I replaced the gasket on top, and it still leaked. That's OK, I was looking for an excuse to get one of the white Moeller tanks specifically made for the newer Montauks. So, here's my question, the old red Moeller had a vented cap. It appears that the new white Moeller does not. Is this an issue? Thanks

It just looks different. From Moeller: Features of Moeller Boston Whaler Topside Fuel Tank: Made of high-density polyethylene with UV-stabilized resin E10 Ethanol compliant Molded fill neck with side angle orientation Exclusive PL3 pickup design with 360° swivel Includes 12" Kelch fuel cap with site gauge and vent CE Certified and both ABYC & NMMA compliant cf: http://www.moellermarine.com/aftermar...anks_noul/ I had, and have read about, problems with the new vented caps on the red portable tanks. IMO the rule and new design requirement is crap. They leak a lot. I am NOT sure if the cap and sight gauge unit is prone to the same leakage issue. Edited by Phil T on 09/26/14 - 6:39 AM
