Install a vent in your fuel can ? Atwood tank, Honda 2000i

I have set up two Honda eu2000's on aux fuel cell (Atwood boat tank)
I have had this same tank before and it is not vented . In the heat of the day it will swell and try to force fuel down the lines . has anyone installed a vent on one of those cans? Or can one just drill a very small hole in the cap? It will set in the middle of my truck bed.
The two hondas are in a enclosure near tail gate.

    You're probably thinking of EZ-Pour. They available on the big online auction site as well as many other places. Just do a search.

    you can buy vented fuel caps for those


    Which typically let air IN but not OUT.
    Just loosen the cap a tiny bit.
    Getting the can in the shade probably would help a lot too.
