Default Emergency!

Ok I filled the tank with gas the last trip i went out. There is 110 gal in the tank.
When I got the boat I replaced all the lines and stuff. New vent also.
Today at my house the temp went to103* !! At noon it was like 90* already and as I was going to the store I thought I could smell some gas but I didn't ck for anything at this time.
I came home and went to bed at 3 pm. At 8pm tonight I was getting ready for work and in the house I could smell gasoline! I went and cked the shead and all around, I got to the boat and the dirt all under the boat was wet with gas, and I could see that it all leaked out the vent??
I removed the gas cap and the air almost blew the capoff as i was turning it!

Whats going on?? The vent must be clear to let the gas out so why isn't it venting the fumes??
What can I do to stop this?

Thanks guys!
