I've got (2) 6 gallon Quicksilver gas tanks for my 115 mercury tower. It's my understanding that when transporting tanks the vent should be closed and only opened when motor is running. Problem is, my tanks try to blow up like a balloon from vapor build up when the valve is closed. Is this normal?

yes, if closed all the way. crack the seal. You just need to guard against gas splashing out.
