Most all caps AFTER 1970 or anything fitted with a charcoal canister has a
non-vented cap -  This refers to when the fuel tank was vented to the
atmosphere via the cap, and after the advent of emission controls and
closed systems the vent is routed to other areas (typically the canister
through various pipes and fuel traps)
