Deceleration (braking) pushing fuel out the vent would be my 
guess.  My first vents
in my wing tanks were straight 1/4" pipes.  When the airplane taxied 
or "waggled"
it's wings on the ramp, they would "p*ss" fuel out the vent.  I 
closed them off and
made some "homemade" vented fuel caps to solve the problem.
