Mark,
Is your van a Syncro?  There is a recall for Syncro which will put a bigger
filler neck to avoid the overfill problem.  But I decided not to do it
instead just filling the gas slower.  But last winter it became annoying
since the pump will automatically shut off even though the gas tank is only
half full.  The problem has gone away since the temperature is getting
warmer.

Subject:  fill up overfill

Does anyone out there have a problem with gasoline pouring out of the
filler neck before the gas station pump automatically shuts off?  I've
been cursing this for years and between the fact that all my cloths have
been splattered with gas at least once and that my van is an
environmental disaster I would really like to resolve this.  Or is the
fix for this problem being withheld by the greedy oil companies who have
made at least an extra couple bucks off me in the last few years?
Thanks,
Mark
