An improved deck fill for use according to the present invention comprises a vented deck fill with a body, a fuel throat, a vent throat, and a single pressure regulating valve. Use of the single pressure regulating valve increases engine performance by reducing a pressure necessary to push the single pressure regulating valve into an open configuration. This disclosure additionally relates to a method for the installation of the vented deck fill by way of a single hole installation. This is facilitated by an elliptical circumference of the vent throat and fuel throat, thereby allowing the vent throat and fuel throat to be closer together, reducing the necessary size for the single installation hole. This disclosure relates to non-vented deck fills utilizing a floating puck assembly, and to a low-profile fuel cap for vented and non-vented deck fills utilizing a push button latch and hinge clearance scallops.
