yes.... when you overfill the gas tank you run the risk of getting gas in the evap emissions system.... the vapor lines for the system are near the top of the fill tube.. the evap system is designed to handle ...vapor... not liquid gas... so if you get enough gas in the lines you can damage you evap canister and or various valves that control the evap system.... later
