I topped off a couple weeks ago, like you unintentionally. I looked at my gauge beforehand, and added up the hours since my last fill. By my calculation I should have been 5-10 gallons shy of a full tank when it started coming out of the overflow. Yeesh. This Suzuki is even more efficient than I previously thought. I did plenty of venting and sniffing before I fired up the engine and fortunately detected no fumes.
