The fuel filler cap has a 1 way valve in it to allow air in to prevent a vacuum

but yes the purge system vents tank pressure into the engine inlet so prevents it building up on a hot day which can be dangerous

so just blanking off the tank vents probably isn't a good idea

in the days before purge systems the tank was vented through a charcoal cannister and out to atomosphere under the car

and before the days of charcoal cannisters the tank was just vented and breathed through the cap
