I find on my '54 that the average fuel nozzle at the gas station doesn't automatically shut off when full. Something I discovered very early on. So When I go to fill up, and usually have an idea of how much fuel it needs and start to listen about a gallon or so shy of what I think it needs. There is a for sure a change in sound once it reaches the top of the tank and it starts to fill the inlet tube. That's when I stop. Otherwise, it quickly fills the filler tube and starts to spill out of the filler unfettered. Which is also usually down the side of the quarter panel.

I've always filled up on the way to somewhere, so I've never filled it all the way up when cold, and then put it way.

But I'd say it was possibly overfilled and then expansion and a little siphon action did the rest.
