Happens to me when I fill my 87.  I think it is just the way the gas fill
tube and tank is designed-the gas will splash out very briefly at the end.
I did find that you can baby it and this won't happen.

Subject:        Cutoff not working at the pump!

When I go to fill up my vanagon,
I put the nozzle in the tank, and flip the lever
so it pumps while I wash the windows, check the oil, etc.  When the
tank is full the nozzle shuts off.
No gas comes out the top but there is a decent size pool of fresh gas
under the vanagon when I drive off.
Is there some sort of cutoff/overflow valve that may not be working on
my van?  The gas attendant says he's seen it happen with other vanagons.
Any ideas anyone?
TIA,
 Stuart
