There's 2 pipes that run through the tank, one's a breather that gives air to the cap, the other's an over spill pipe which will aim excess fuel, or any rain water, safely to the ground via the pipe.
An air line, or can of air, will be your friend here.
There's also a small chance the breather hole in your fuel cap could be clogged up. These bikes are old now so anything's a possibility.
I just bought a new one, it meant a new key but that didn't bother me and it looks better anyway.
Have a look through this thread, but bear in mind your cap is very slightly different to look at, being an older model, plus you have pipes coming off the underbelly of the tank, later models from 2000 aim the outer metal tubes on the tank into a rubber cup, to avoid the kinking issues when moving the tank.
