Actually, the old caps were vented, but a quick quarter turn and the whole cap came off. The NEW safety cap is similar in design to a radiator cap as You need to turn it one-quarter of a turn, then lift the cap slightly to relieve the pressure "IF" the vent has plugged up, then You turn another quarter turn to remove the cap. It's also wize to extinguish all smoking materials while fueling any engine, and shut the engine off, and let it cool down for a bit. It always seemed ODD to Me that the low profile cap that IHC/Navistar is replacing on this program is/was an Industry Standard cap that ALL companies used.... and the taller triple-baffle cap was a Special IHC Only cap that prevented raw gas from possibly excaping from the cap vents....
