Interesting - I went out and checked the gas cap. Initially I put it on when I heard one click. I reset it today when it clicked 3 or 4 times. Don't know if that was the problem. I filled the tank until the gas stopped automatically. I don't know whether it was overfilled. I tend not to think so. In any case I'll be curious to see once I reset the cap.

Since having this cart I have only filled it once prior to this last time and didn't notice the problem before so maybe you've hit on the solution.
