My '85 GL was just starting to do that when I traded it off. Don't know what
the problem was, but since I now have an '88 GL would surely like to know.
Could happen again.

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
