It would be helpful if we know what car you've got, what mods you've done to it, what type of cornering you're talking about, things of that nature.

Re: aftermarket gas tank
It takes a hard turn and a medium to low tank to do it. I have the same problem myself, but I'm drifting. My idea is to get a stock tank and have a sump/trap welded in. I guess I could just get a fuel cell with foam or baffling, but I don't think you can run one underneath and I really wouldn't run one in the hatch.
Anyone else have any ideas?
