Think about it this way....if the tank wasn't properly vented, it would collapse as the fuel pump pulled suction to get the fuel to the injectors......so since the tank is vented to prevent that from happening, it also allows atmospheric air, and consequently moisture, to enter as the air replaces the former liquid volume space, and hence the condensation that forms when the temperature varies. If the tank is full, there is little to no air space where moisture can enter through the vented cap.
