Subject:      Re: 1985 Vanagon fuel overflow?
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

My 85 GL has always like to spill out gas when I fill it up.  I don't know
why it does it, but I just watch the pump and fill more slowly when it
starts to get filled up. It has never spilled out gallons, but it splashes a
bit out if I leave the gas pump on fully till it shuts off by itself.
