Sorry buddy, you're right, we got involved with the venting post to the extent we forgot to answer yours.
Anyway, yes, it is possible to force gas into the carb with too much pressure but worse, it could cause a leak into the engine oil pan to occur. In this hot weather the tank could create enough pressure to rupture the fuel pump diaphragm especially if it was aleady weak. As I mentioned in the other post, it could also lead to gas tank failure if the insides were already weakened from rust.
