Default Fuel Fill Overflow

So found out something interesting the other day. Topping the tank off on the truck i did a few extra clicks to many after the fill kicked off, and it overflowed..........underneath the truck rather then out the fuel fill part and all over the truck. I think i've maybe over filled like twice in my whole life but that was a pretty neat save.

I did the same thing last week when I filled up mine. I'm glad it doesn't shoot out the neck anymore.

When I let the full service people fill it up they do this all the time trying to put in every ounce they can. I put gas until it clicks.

I tried to go past the first click a few times and every time it spits it out of the filler all down the side of my usually freshly washed bedside....
