add a plastic bag over the whole in tank but dont cover it fully, cures this problem " dont totally cover it though or the pump will suck the out the air in tank and stop your flow of water (it is also a nightmare to man handle the lid back off)

I drilled a small hole in the top of my lid and stuck a 12 inch piece of pole hose in it, in a loop.  It means air can get in the tank when I'm pumping water out of it, and I don't get any spashes when I'm driving around.
