Tanks sent us a new tank at no charge for Steves car. It's now trouble free.

The issue was the vent port on the fuel pump module would be slightly below the fuel level when the tank was full. So if any pressure built up in the tank when it warmed up fuel could be forced out through the vent. Once your ran the tank down a gallon or so th fuel level was below the vent port and everything was ok.

Tanks added a vent port to the tank at the highest point so problem solved.
