Gas spilled over when refueling

[Scott Larson]

My Explorer will do that along with both the VX's. I don't know what valves are involved, but I do notice that weather and/or temp seems to have an effect and have always suspected a vapor-locked tank, not to be confused with a vapor-locked fuel rail or fuel line. I just persist and always seem to overcome it...

I filled the gas tank this morning. No overspill! First I set the pump nozzle so that it rested in the fill tube but the pump cut out after a few mL. So I centered the nozzle with the fill tube and pressed that gas vapor/splash barrier up tight against the opening and, voila! No overspill, no pump cutting out... so I guess I can't be lazy anymore while the gas is pumping.

I'm going to continue to pump this way and if I run into any additional problems with the pump, I'll update this thread.
