Fuel slosh can be a problem. For Autocross, the short-term solution can be
to stuff something underneath the filler cap. Something that "slows down
the fuel hitting the cap, but doesn't seal off the air flow. Make sure it is
something that you can remove! Also, to keep the leakage invisible to the
outside world, and the gas off your fender paint, stuff several red shop
rags under the gas door, in essence filling the space over and around the
cap. That will keep it from seeping out, especially when you have enough gas in
the tank to keep the pump submerged at all times <grin>

I had issues sloshing gas out the fill on right turns, and fuel
starvation issues.
(in-tank pump sucked air, injectors didn't like it at all)
does a stock Corvair tank ever have issues spilling fuel at the cap?
