[QUOTE="AustinSN, post: 16795034, member: 159453"] It's hard to say because so much has been changed on this car. From what I can tell, it's either coming out of the cap, or the vent which vents into the gas door. I think it's pooling up inside there and then getting sloshed back into the car along the fill tube (exposed in the trunk) and pooling in the spare tire well. The amount of pressure that comes out of the tank is insane after a race. I got out at tech, unclicked the cap half a turn and it started hissing. Talked to everyone for a while, drove to my pit, parked, went inside to grab a gatorade and when I came back out it was still hissing. I plan on re-doing the vent line, replacing the cap and blocking off the exposed portion of the neck. I'm also added more heat shielding to the tank to try to keep that cooler but that probably isn't going to do much. If I can't get it to stop spitting fuel, I'm at least going to make sure it spits it outside of the car. Also, I think I'm going to refer to it as the exxon valdez. [/QUOTE]
