Hmmm. I had the overflow/vent tube and what appeared to be a hole in side
the cap and if I made a left turn with a somewhat full tank, I left a trail
of gasoline behind me. I removed the tube and replaces the banjo with a bolt
and washer and have had no ill effects, so apparently it's venting
adequately. I would think one or the other, but not both a vented cap and
an overflow.

Apparently some are, but most are not. As Jonas posted, there is a vent on
the top of the tank; but the cap I have has what appears to be a factory
vent hole in it.
Even without the hole, I don't think they seal perfectly. The plate that
actually closes the opening has a pin going through the middle (which
carries the spring), and there is no seal where the pin penetrates the
plate. But I wouldn't rely on that to pass enough air to allow fuel to flow
to the engine.
