Do I plug fuel tank vent/overflow line ? 200 1980

I installed a new fuel accumulator on my 80' 240. The new accumulator did not come with the small nipple fitting where the fuel tank vent/overflow hose connects.

Parts store said it was not needed and to just let the vent hose hang underneath without plugging it.

Problem is when the tank is full some gas will slosh up and drain out. This always happens on hard right hand turns as the line comes out on the left top of the tank.

Is it actually needed to "vent" the gas tank?
Is it OK to just plug this vent/overflow line?

Thanks,
Dale
