Twice now I have filled my BJ8 gas tank, drove the half mile home and parked it. Next warm day there is gas seeping from the tank cap. What appears to happen is that the gas expands as it warms to room temperature from whatever temp it is underground at the station. The first time was a hot day and it percolated and bubbled out when I removed the cap. Perhaps some air was trapped somewhere in there.
Obviously I am putting too much gas in, although I just let the dispenser shut itself off and I do not top off.
Does this happen to you? Any ideas on how I can prevent it other than driving a few miles after each fill-up? My parking spot is level.
