<VV> Gas overflow

[J R Read_HML]

You filled the tank REALLY full and drove only a short distance to where you 
parked on a HOT day?

The cold gas which came from an underground tank expanded as it warmed.  The 
original "dribble" came from either the short rubber hose connection in the 
filler neck or from the vented cap.

My guess.
