Cut out but not fuel cut 2g

[roketmarc90]

my friend has a 97 eclipse gsx and when he fills the tank it leaks ...but my question is if there is air venting for it cause the car to cut out under a 1/4 of a tank?

Rephrase?
Do you mean there's a hole in the gas tank and it's leaking gas?

Wait what?

Tell your friend he probably shouldnt be driving a car leaking gas from the tank?.

If he is leaking gas, he needs to replace the tank now.

Second, i, along with a few other friends find their cars to run "differently" when they have less than 1/4 of gas in the tank. I will hit fuel cut more often when my gas is lower. So to answer your question, based on my expierence, yes. All cars are a little different, but for the most part, yes.

Just like if you take a turn fast and gun it, the gas all goes to one side, and sometimes you get a large "jerk" .

There is a fix for this, get a baffled fuel cell. It is pricey but possible. Get that car off the road until that leak is fixed. Its dangerous to drive it like that, not to you guys only, but other people as well.
