I am still getting some gas spilling out the gas tank cap. I am at About 7/8ths of a tank, and I do take some turns at 3, 4 or maximal 5 m/ss of lateral acceleration. That is 0.3 to 0.5 G in a turn. Not sports car territory, but for a packard I would call it "moving" or hustling 
When I got to work, I could see that the coffee container was holding the fuel from the fender, but allowing it to wet the filler tube...
Maybe it's time for new shocks to reduce body roll? That would be the first step before looking at swaybars.
Another Option would be to raise the filler vent tube into a "shephards crook" that goes higher into the trunk and then vents down towards the Ground. Also a sizable mod that nobody ever seemed to Need.
I guess it means my engine and suspension are up to snuff! Happy packarding.
