Are they all the same? Are they vented. ? Do they need to be serviced to insure they do vent if they are designed to do so ? Do they all have the small less than dime sized cap in the middle ? Is that a one way valve underneath the small cap ? If it is a valve is it pressure activated ? Pressure from the tank interior expanding contents.. Just trying to understand the system a bit better.

If they're not vented the carbs can get filled with oil when the mtr gets stored.

Ya, problem. Thank you
Reason to ask was checking mine I tried to spray carb cleaner from the inside to the outside and it would not go through. I have seen many with the cap and without the cap. I guess smarter folk figured it out ,removed the cap and cleaned da vent.
