A hole through the threads would leak pretty seriously when you carry it. The gasket is on the top of the neck. Maybe they have some kind of manual vent cap.
According to their web site: "This system is designed to run one generator. B.E.R.G. I System can be converted to a B.E.R.G II by adding our concretion kit. Complete system includes tank, hose, fittings, and custom generator cap" That custom generator cap sounds like it must vent.
