Hi,
I have an early classic kit and I had to add a mod to do exactly this. The 
vent tube is now extended by an aluminum tube to reach the most forward and 
upper corner of the tank. I believe it was optional mod # 34. Still though, 
without it, you should have been able to get more than 12 gallons in before 
it squirted out the top. Not sure what would cause your problem. I plan to 
add a vent at the filler neck teeing into the vent line that exists and is 
routed up to the top then back down to the belly.
Best Regards,
