Not sure I had one with a sx5 ?
 
Not as long as it doesn't get fuel up in it.
Would almost thing something is putting pressure in the tank, but that's highly unlikely imo. Not without having some mega carb or heat issues. Vent may just be buggered up.

Right? why I'm i get a ton of positive pressure in the fuel tank?‍♂️ came back inside and pulled the breather off and fuel rushed out like a hose?‍♂️?‍♂️

doug, i have this right don't i ?
the carb you have is feed only, no return ?
so as sean said above , the only way ya can get positive pressure in the tank is with a rise in temp,
i see in yer pics that you have the yellow pipe as feed and i presume that has the clunk on ?
just with the black and yellow fuel pipes the black as stock usually has the clunk and yellow is return,
anyways, if ya have the yellow on the clunk as feed, then i take it yer using the black as vent,
i see in yer pics that it looks like ya have a screw in the end of the black tube, so i take it ya removed that and fitted a check valve vent,
plus yer ddm cap wont be vented,
so it has to be yer vents blocked and like sean said its too low in the tank resting in fuel, so when ya pull the vent its pissing fuel out,
bare with me matey :ROFLMAO:,
so if yer vents blocked and you only have a one way non return system, and it aint run yet to create heat above and behind the tank ,
then it has to be sunshine doug,
so when you take the car from yer garage into direct sun, then the the sun will heat the tank and if vents blocked ya get positive pressure (y),
hope ya can understand what i said here cos its feckin long winded even for me :ROFLMAO:,

Yip put the clunk on the yellow hose so I could see the fuel going to the carb?? thinking about the positive pressure......was in the garden round midday ? feking hot today and car was sat in the sun for half an hour= positive pressure. The tank has no valve and I put a breather on the black pipe???
