ive heard this problem quite frequently, but i have a gas overflow problem,
tho somewhat different..
when i fill the tank, the gas pump nozzle shuts off automatically when the
gas reaches the top of the tank, but it then spills all over the side of the
van, like it didnt shut off in time.  i dont get any leakage from on top of
the tank, just the gas puking out the filler hole..    any ideas?
