That's really interesting. I actually don't top off. What ever it is at auto shut off is what I take. But my van is the second california vanagon I've owned, and I have never had that problem. Did you look closely at the lip of yours where the cap fits on? I wonder of something is bent? No clue.

There's no need to do so (unless you're obsessed w/ having your receipt rounded to 5 or 10 ct). Having said this, I sometimes have problems even without topping off the tank. To whit, if I insert the nozzle and put the handle on auto-shut off, the nozzle will pop out and spill gas on the ground when the tank's full. And this is a California van.
