Ford Falcon use to pour out fuel any time you had more than 1/2 tank & turned a corner..... My solution was a little more involved than a new cap...

First photo shows the fuel stain in the old paint...

Had an XY Ford Futura sedan 351 that did the same thing , only on the race track doing laps so I fitted a 2 inch flap non return valve in line in the boot , was plenty of room and that worked well . Bloody station wagons ya can do it ... Bugga ... !!! Good work mate ... ;-) ...

Thanks guys! Just another project I need to get back to.... Not as cool looking as the Valiant Wagon but still pretty cool, 65 2 door wagon... Started building it as a dog hauler & got carried away...
