I haven't noticed it and I just top off the tank this weekend, I'll look for that but I don't take it to the top of the cap usually.

Doesn't Bashan Brozz, Shark and Storm have the same gas cap as the Hawk? Never had a problem and I fill mine to the top. Looks the same from the outside. Is the part that goes in the tank Longer than on the Hawk?

May have to drill a small hole closer to the top to break the siphoning effect.

My sharks gas cap does the same tuning, I'll try drilling a hole close to the top to see if it helps. Its frustrating because I lose about a half gallon of capacity

I decided to take the dremel to the cap with a cut off wheel I took off around an 1 inch of it. It now ends right at the level of the locking teeth.
If it still gives me grief I will also drill a hole in it
