That cap looks different than the ones I have purchased. The plastic in mine is blue without holes.
The ones I had trouble with also caused a vacuum in the tank. I would hear a giant sucking sound when I removed the cap, especially when the fuel level was low. I do not know if they allowed excess fumes to escape. In my opinion, they are supposed to vent, and not retain a vacuum.
