My tip tanks on my 235 will fill up to the neck of the opening the fuel cap covers. If you add more fuel, it will start to overflow but if you add more fuel very slowly, it never seems to overflow. Where is the extra fuel going? Is it draining into the main tank? I don't see it pouring out anywhere.

Just curious. Thank you for the help.
