Here's the gas cap:

Where is the vent on it? I presume venting is part of the cap (hence the
metal splash deflecting shield) and not elsewhere on the tank. Obviously
something is gummed up.

I may have other issues too but this is a start.

Check the cap and see if that metal flapper is stuck. If you can't see
how it vents, drill a hole in it about 1/32". You don't drive it around
so it won't leak.

I have the same cap as the OP on a power washer. I looked for a vent
hole but it is not to be found.

I found this view of a similar cap, but noted it does have a vent hole
in the middle.
