Is it common for 2nd gen vipers on a full tank of gas that if u accelerate hard some fuel comes out? I noticed this after the last full tank of gas i got....it seems to happen after I fill up and accelerate too hard....

Short answer is not normal. I drove 3 full tank Gen II's last week with no such problem. A
re you topping off tank, maybe over filling it? Is your cap OEM or an aftermarket such as a Stanz locking cap?

One time when I first got my GTS I took the gas cap off forgot to put it back on thinking when I closed the lid it was the gas cap.
So needless to say gas was coming out
Only happened 1 time

Happened to me a while back while autocrossing. Leak stayed under the aluminum cap but was wet underneath. Replaced the screw cap and all is well.
