DON'T fit a vented cap to an estate!!!! Every time you go round a right hand corner, fuel will slosh out due to the low angle of the filler pipe*. The factory style vent is simply a fitting on the filler pipe for the rubber hose that is described above. Can't believe it would be difficult to replicate.
*Even with the proper sealed cap, when parked with a full tank & the filler to the kerb, just road camber can be enough for fuel to spill out of the filler cap on a hot day as the air on the other side of the tank expands.
