Gas cap has a one way check valve, and the valve that vents to the CC canister usually has a 2psi or so spring in it. Once the engine is up to operating temp, it starts to take the vapor from the tank into the motor (charcoal will both absorb and release the vapors). Keep in mind the pressures (fully closed off system is going to cause odd fuel pressures, and the 2psi helps prevent cavitation of the fuel pump).

i am not going with a fuel cell for the moment, i want to get rid of it because i want to remove as much weight as possible and make the system as simple as can be.
i beleive that from the look of it, i can just remove everything and leave the line unplugged so that the tank will vent itself. There seem to be a one way valve on top that would prevent fuel leakage in case of a roll over.
I have a spare tank on hand, i will do some testings.
