Just stop when the pump handle clicks off. Don't top it off.

Because the tank is full. Topping off is pouring more liquid into a already full container.panda30 wrote:why does my gas overflow out when I top ir off.

Topping up in these cars can lead to evap system problems down the road. Don't top up. It is actually bad for the car.
