If it never lets gas pressure out, then answer me these two questions:
Why, on hot days with a full tank, do I hear gas venting out of the cap?
Because your gasket is bad and it is seeping there, not the vent.
Why is the interior of the cap spring loaded like a radiator cap, if it is not indeed expected to work exactly like a radiator cap?
The spring is to only allow air IN when the vacuum increases but keep it sealed when pressure differential is static. Its a basic "check valve" design.
Read the article I posted previously. You can google and read multiple sites that explain it.
