It wasn't parked on that steep of an angle where the left side of the tank was higher that the top of the filler opening. That I could understand.

Let's assume that the level of fuel in the tank did cover the opening where the filler pipe enters the actual tank... what would cause it to rise the extra what, 8 inches (?), to reach the top of the filler?

Seems odd that the tank would leak like that unless there was pressure building up inside the tank.
