>If I fill mine from the top (by far the easiest way to fill from gallon
jugs), I can get around 13 gallons in, but then it spills out the exterior
filler on cornering.  I don't think I could get that much in from the
outside.  I usually stop at around 10 gallons, to avoid washing the left
side of the van as I drive! (yes, I am missing the locking cap for the
filler)

Have you actually measured 13 gallons?... I measured about 10 filled to the
top....

Also, make youself a filler nozel and you will never want to fill through
the top again... takes about two minutes to fill the tank... all the way to
the top and no spilling...

Just go the hard ware store and get a 10 inch piece of tubing that will fit
through the rubber baffle at the filler tube... then select a combinating of
fittings to reduce from 3/4" hose to the tubing that you bought. That's
it... getting the water to enter past the rubber baffle makes all the
difference... you can add an on off valve if you like for added convenience.
