Had that vented cap plug up on a drive one day and was about 20 miles from my destination. Car sputtered to a halt! Remembered what I had read about this potential issue and loosened the fuel cap and heart the tell-tale whoosh as air rushed into the tank.
Left the cap loose, drove to my destination and then the 40 miles back home with a loose cap, but no issues.
I ended up drilling a couple of extra vent holes in the cap. Never had the problem again. Chap
