My TR6 is the same way. When I filled it all the way, you could really
smell the gas, and there was a noticeable leak. So, now, whenever I fill
it up, I keep the power turned on and watch the gauge go up. When I get
it to about three quarters, I stop filling. It eventually goes to the top,
but it isn't quite as full as if I filled it until the pump shut off.
