How's your tank vented? It's hard to imagine the "capless" filler being the culprit.

I think I may have found the problem without looking at it. For the last while, there is a fuel leak if I fill the tank all the way up. There is a red plastic cap over the original fill hole that is leaking that I always forget to fix. It is not a fire hazard where it is at, that's why I keep forgetting. I doubt my actual tank vent hose is doing anything because it is venting through my leaking cap because that is the path of least resistance, It's an open window to dust.

Update, I'm sure I found the problem. The leak I mentioned was really nothing and so I checked out my capless fuel cap ( if that makes sense ) I could blow through it like an open hose..... POS. I also had a bugger of a time unscrewing it because the threads were also so full of dust. It now has a regular cap on it.
