Your ODB-II system will control the tank pressure. The danger is for pre-ODB-II units which have their vented cap replaced with an ODB-II (non vented cap). This combination leads to tank collapse.
In my case the dealer in Canada replaced the defective cap with one of the newer (ODB-II) units. The dealer in Kansas discovered this problem when doing diagnosticts to clear up an unrelated problem.
A pre-ODB-II cap on an ODB-II system would cause a CEL as this would act like a loose fuel cap. The ODB-II systems seem to be applying a small controlled vacuum to the tank. If after a while this pressure cannot be achieved a fault is signalled, assuming a fault in a hose or a purge valve perhaps.
