Can anything happen if you overfill your gas tank?
Gas topping damages your car. Overfilling the gas tank can cause liquid gas to enter the charcoal canister, or carbon filter, which is designed only for vapor. “When we overfill the tank, it sends all of the excessive fuel to the evaporation/charcoal canister and kills the life of that canister,” Carruso says.

What happens when you put too much gas in the tank?
Gas stations have vapor recovery systems that feed gas vapors and gasoline from the pump back into the gas station’s tank when you overfill to protect your car and the environment. Putting too much gas in the tank causes the fuel vapor recovery system to put the extra gas you just paid for back into the gas pump.
Why does the gas station charge more for filling up the tank?
You fill up your “empty” fuel tank at the gas station and the pump charges you for more gallons than the tank’s rated capacity. Are you being deliberately overcharged?

How much does a fuel tank capacity vary?
For example, some manufacturers estimate that actual fuel tank capacity can vary as much as 3 percent from the tank capacity rating because of design characteristics, the manufacturing process, and even the physics associated with the components that monitor emissions and the electronics of the fuel system and fuel indicators.
