I'm guessing your fuel cell doesn't have a flapper that seals the lid or a check ball in vent at tank, very dangerous if you turn over and a spark happens.

Check your gasket on cap.Seen alot of bad ones also make sure cap is completly tight sometimes they get a bad spot and feel tight but aint.

I'm guessing you needed the rear weight.... but next time just put 28 gal in and add a small piece of lead....... your probably splashing it around so much and so full.... it is splashing out the vent.... the ball check is only going to work when the car is on its lid......its not like a true check valve... its more a gravity check....... ( ball is trapped in a cage and covers the hole when up side down)

Put longer vent line on your cell and route it to the right side of the car.
