When you are on an extreme angle it acts as an overflow , ie the fuel will run up the vent into the tank relatively slowly so it doesn't spill out of the vent. or run forward into the carbon canister if there is one.
Trust me on this.

I think he is talking about a small tank which holds about 2-3 litres, which fits between the inner and outer guards on a 2 door.
It has the main tank vent going into the bottom corner and the other vent from the top. thats all I can remember.
