Gas leak Problem
So i bought my 93sc300 with a 91 1jzgte already equipped and r154 tranny. He told me the car was originally manual and that the gas tank has never been messed with or modified.
Now heres the problem. When I fill about half my tank up, (or more), gas tends to come out and leak all over the side of my car. Could this be because the cap is too small? If not what else could it be?! I cant even fill the tank! All help appreciated-thankyou

On most cars there is a small vent tube that runs parallel to the large filler neck. The vent tube allows the air in tank to escape without backing up the filler neck and causing bubbles and back splashing. Are you filling the tank really fast, if so try filling on the slowest setting and see if it happens again. It wouldn't hurt to crawl under the car and look around, follow the lines coming from the gas cap and see how they run and just make sure something isn't pinched.

The cap is there.
I fill the tank at the rate it pumps, i snap the little thing and let it pump itself, (u know what i mean right?) Im about to go put some more gas in right now...ill try putting it in slow and see how it works.

what ecu are you running? is there alot of pressure when you open your gas cap (after driving for a bit to the gas station) or is there no pressure sound at all when you open it up?
I would check in the engine bay (passenger side by firewall) to see if your charcoal canister was re-connected properly during the swap, or if it was removed I would make sure the vent line from the gas tank is properly vented. you won't believe what some people will try and do like cap this line off or something.
