Are you overfilling or topping up your tank Joe?

Where are you located?  Some govermental regulations in some 
jurisdictions require a system which recovers spillage by sucking it 
back and if you overfill your tank, you can do that forever. 
Unfortunately, 'tho it keeps down spillage, it  is not sophisticated 
enough to credit you with the 'recovered' fuel and of course it will 
thus overcharge you and and seemingly inflate the capacity of your tank .

Just a thought.
