A fuel tank cap includes a casing; a main chamber disposed in the casing; a vapor vent channel disposed in the casing and communicating with the main chamber; annular partition walls disposed in the main chamber and configured to divide the main chamber into troughs surrounding a central tunnel, each partition wall including a cut so that the troughs and the tunnel are capable of communicating with each other via the cut; activated carbon filled in the troughs; and a permeable plug disposed in the tunnel, which is made by wrapping rust-resistant flexible wires so that a plurality of intercommunicated air gaps are formed among the flexible wires. The vapor vent channel includes the cuts, the troughs and the air gaps. The activated carbon captures fuel vapors and absorbs VOCs in the fuel vapors when the fuel vapors pass through the vapor vent channel.
