I checked. The answer is yes.


Double O-rings (white) on cap.


I blew into the blue fitting and the ball valve in the closed position prevented any air from passing through.


So there is a double seal to the air trap tank with the blue ball valve and then the white cap with double O-rings.


You can feel the O-rings against the blue receiver fitting as it goes in before you twist it closed.
