I have no doubt that I was able to overfill as I could see the fuel sitting just above the small hole, but not yet out of the outer housing. I never came close to that before.

Also, I was 30 - 40 miles past 0, so I have no doubt the tank was nearly empty. I just would not have expected to put more than 17 gallons in, unless I had to push the car to the pump!
