To the best of my knowledge, no.

My solution was to simply cap off the vent line (or you could remove it and
put a short plain bolt and washer in the hole).  My car had a small vent
hole in the fuel cap (through the inner plate that actually covers the
opening to the tank); but if not, it would be easy enough to add one.
