    I have a 1987 Honda Accord LX
    When I bought the car the owner told me she somehow lost the gas cap
    and had to replace it. The new gas cap is just a plain unvented metal
    cap. Is the cap for this car supposed to be unvented? I am just
    wondering because when I remove the cap to fill up the tank there is a
    large release of air. Thanks

    Factory caps often do that too.
    It still doesn't mean it's the "proper" cap.

    Modern gas caps are unvented as part of the evaporative emissions control
    regimen.
