But I feel mine does the same thing and anything over 3/4 of a tank and I have a gas smell outside the car. Maybe it has a bit to do with teh backpressure in the tank because I have been told by many ppl i may need to replace my gas cap due to the smell. I thought it was just me imagining it or just the extra weight of the full tank was that big a difference. I hope I don't need a filler neck replaced. I can't think of anything it could be especially with a brand new motor.

- On an 89, I'd say almost certainly the filler neck... Uncle Pete (89 SE) 01:43:34 9/05/2002 (0)

  - Actually all my gas smell is outside the car. But I do feel like I have oodles more power in high RPM on less than half a tank. I just assumed it was weight. 8ball (89 SE 5spd) 19:48:30 9/05/2002 (0)
