No but it will let some gas OUT.
That is why none come equipped that way to begin with.
That is also why you can't find a replacement cap with a two-way vent.
IF....you are going to do that, you need to modify your habits just a bit; NOT fill the can completely full, as that will guarantee gas will spit out your new vent hole. Even if not completely full a little gas will likely splash out as the fuel and can gets warmer.
THIS can be a serious problem if any occupants of the boat smokes OR the can is used in an enclosed space where the gas fumes can accumulate......and explode from a static spark.
The cans are made the way they ARE for good reasons.
If you are going to defeat that safety device, you need to consider ALL of the factors.
