Overflow When Gasing Up
I Noticed That If I Top Off The Tank By More Than A Smidge The Gas Overflows And Comes Out The Seam At The Bottom Rocker In Front Of The Rear Wheel. Has Any One Else Had This Experience? My Solution Is Just Never Top Off...it's Pretty Full...i Couldn't Get More Than Anothe 50 Cents In Anyhow.

When it clicks off it is full. 
Never heard of anyone getting more than a few cents additional in.
There is someone on the Forum who claims he put in another 1.5 gallons but he only thinks he owns a C6.
