Remember the 70's Chevys that had the fuel filler behind the license plate? Every once in a while you would see one pull away from a stop sign and half a gallon of 60 cent gas would pour out the back, those were the days.

If the vented caps get plugged it could cause your fuel tank to collapse from the vacuum created by a mechanical pump, that used to happen occasionally.
