It sounds like your new gas tank is not ventilated through the filler neck so a vented gas cap would be required. It is equipped with a special breathing valve so that it can be used on non-ventilated fuel tanks. The valve relieves the pressure that can build up in the gas tank due to expansion especially on hot days.
