The amount of pressure your cap provides is directly correlated with
he temperature at which it is intended to open. The is technology
from, oh I'm guessing, the 1920s. All of the dissolved gas is quickly
vented form the system and, if any remains, it isn't causing a
problem.

I cringe to ask what you think the problem is here.
