Hi, Peter.  Welcome.

Same thing happens on my 85 Westy, so I'll be interested in seeing the comments you get.

  Subject: Fw: Spillage when filling the gas

  Hi Everyone,
   
  My name is Peter Small.  I've just joined the list.
   
  I am a proud owner of an 85 Westy weekender.
   
  Since I bought the vanagon two years ago, there has been this problem in filling up the gas tank.  If I am not careful and fill it slowly, gas spews out all over the side of the vanagon before the gas pump automatically shuts off.  Is this a common problem?  Or is there something that is clogged that might prevent the shutoff from happening?
   
  Thanks,
   
  Peter
