Fastback Gas Tank

Does anyone know why the fastbacks have a gas tank with an extra vent? I have looked at the regular 20 gallon tank with a single vent and the fastback tank with two vents, and can see no reason why they used the two vents on the fastback.

Maybe something to do with no seperate trunk on the fastback?

After looking at the gas tanks; the double vent tank is $259.95 and the single vent tank is $159.95, I think the single vent tank will work in the fastback car. The double vent tank, has a the second vent at the top of the tank and both tanks have the same vent that runs the lenght of the tank so I believe the single vent tank will work in the fasback if you close off the second vent line.
