Bill,
 
If the are in the rear slipstream you may have created a siphon.

Subject: [COUPERS-TECH] Caps

Bob, I have a 65 Alon and someone, years ago, reversed the vent to the rear rather than the front.  As such, my tanks are not pressurized but they also do not leak unless I really climb out at an extreme angle of attack.
 
I wouldn't suggest this modification but, I also have no plans to revent my caps forward.  The old saying, don't fix what isn't broken" is applicable in my case anyway. 
 
Hope you find a solution that works for you...
