Martha:
The simplest thing to check is whether the screw-top cap on the tank is
sealed tightly. If you filled it up to the very top, and the cover is
loose, that would account for the lots of water. (One way to check this is
to look at the level in your tank. If it is full, and there is water on
the floor, you overfilled it and had an overflow.
