try finding a station where the right rear of the van is far higher than
the left front, and you'll find the tank fills much better.

After they futilely try to pump gas in (and the auto-shufoff kills it instantly) they let me fill it up. Most modern pumps pump gas so fast that it will always trigger the auto-shut off (now super sensitive to prevent overflows) on my Syncro Westy.
