IF I stop filling the fuel when the pump first clicks off the fuel gauge (in the instrument cluster) will show almost a 1/8 tank low....so I typically pump a little more in. BUT I KNOW there's a point at which too much fuel will mess with the vapor recovery system. It's a fine line.
The sound while filling is NOT the howling sound people are posting about. The bubbling is normal as the tank gets close to full. When you have howling you know you have it.
