Trying to understand the MGA fuel system.

 

It appears that the gas cap does a pretty good job of sealing the gas tank.

 

So when the fuel pump sucks gas from the tank and pushes it into the
carburetors, where does the air come from to fill the void left by the
departed gasoline?

 

I don't see an air inlet anywhere.
