That's really interesting.  I actually don't top off.  What ever it is at auto shut off is what I take.  But my van is the second california vanagon I've owned, and I have never had that problem.  Did you look closely at the lip of yours where the cap fits on?  I wonder of something is bent?  No clue.  Mc

There's no need  to do so (unless you're obsessed w/ having your receipt rounded to 5 or 10 ct). Having said this, I sometimes have problems even without topping off the tank. To whit, if I insert the nozzle and put the handle on auto-shut off, the nozzle will pop out and spill gas on the ground when the tank's full. And this is a California van.
