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.

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
