I'm sure its just like the gas cans now where they are so afraid of fumes getting out that gas cant flow. first thing I do after buying a gas can is rip the damn auto close valve off it and make a vent hole and stick a bolt in it when not in use.
if it would matter I bet you can rig a simple valve to bypass it for refueling then have it still hooked up if it ever came to be a required thing they might check for. at least for now I don't think they check stuff like that but at one point they might.
