My '85 has done this since new.  I just slow down the delivery when I
know it's getting close, so the last gallon or two go in at half-speed.

Subject: vanagon gas overflow problem from filler hole again......

ok..yesterday i took a lister's advice and swapped out the filler neck
on my
84... thinking the vent tube was clogged or the float ball was
missing...
neither was the problem...   what else is there to change??  the fuel
tank has all
new lines, new grommets,  everything in ken's kit from the tank to the
expansion tanks has been replaced....   im getting tired of getting gas
all over my
feet and having to wipe the side of the van off every time i fill it
up..  and
those of you who say "dont top it off" well, i cant tell when the level
is
getting to the top by sound, so that doesnt work..  any other listers
having
this problem?   maybe i should design some sort of filler neck extension
i can
pop on the pump nozzle so it cuts off sooner..
