I have found that most pumps shut off when the tank is completely full (IE do not pump another penny in and stop). If it is hot out and you fill the tank with cool gas (from being stored underground), the gas will expand in the tank as it warms. I have had it start to leak overnight after a fill due to this (gas station less than 1 mile from the house). What I do to avoid this now is either fill up at a station maybe 10 miles out or go for a short 8-10 mile ride after filling. It has never happened again.
