A system, for preventing overflow in a tank, fillable via a nozzle, includes a fill passage connecting the storage tank to an external atmosphere. An adjacent passage has a lower end disposed at a predetermined level within the storage tank and an upper end communicating with a hole in the fill passage. A vent passage connects the adjacent passage to the external atmosphere, and a valve is disposed in the vent passage, permitting the flow of air through the vent passage and prohibiting the flow of liquid through the vent passage.

1. A system for preventing overflow in a storage tank which is fillable via a nozzle, the system comprising: a guide configured to fit within a fill passage of the storage tank and receive the nozzle;a lower passage configured to fit at least partially within the fill passage of a storage tank and receive at least a portion of a flow of liquid from the nozzle;an upper passage connected to an upper portion of the lower passage; anda valve connected to a lower portion of the lower passage, the valve having a first position and a second position,wherein when a level of liquid in the storage tank is below a predetermined level, the valve is in the first position and liquid is permitted to flow out of the lower portion of the lower passage; andwherein when the level of liquid in the storage tank is at or above the predetermined level, the valve is in the second position and at least partially blocks the flow of liquid out of the lower end of the lower passage. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the guide includes a cup. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the upper passage is connected to the guide. 4. A system for preventing overflow in a storage tank which is fillable via a nozzle having a hole, the system comprising: a lower passage configured to fit at least partially within a fill passage of a storage tank and receive at least a portion of a flow of liquid from the nozzle;an upper passage connected to an upper portion of the lower passage; anda valve connected to a lower portion of the lower passage, the valve having a first position and a second position,wherein when a level of liquid in the storage tank is below a pre-determined level, the valve is in first position and liquid is prevented from entering the upper passage due to low pressure created by the extension of the upper passage into the fuel flow in the lower passage. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the upper passage has an upper end in communication with a hole in the nozzle. 6. A system for preventing overflow in a storage tank which is fillable via a nozzle having a hole, the system comprising: a lower passage configured to fit at least partially within a fill passage of a storage tank and receive at least a portion of a flow of liquid from the nozzle;an upper passage connected to an upper portion of the lower passage; anda valve connected to a lower portion of the lower passage, the valve having a first position and a second position,wherein at least a portion of the liquid flows out the upper end of the upper passage when the valve is in the second position. 7. A system for preventing overflow in a storage tank which is fillable via a nozzle having a hole, the system comprising: a cup configured to be disposed within a fill passage of the storage tank, the cup having a hole corresponding to the hole in the nozzle;a first passage having an upper end communicating with the hole in the cup;a second passage having an upper end configured to receive a portion of a flow of liquid from the nozzle and a lower end; anda valve having a first position that directs liquid to flow through the lower end of the second passage and a second position that directs liquid to flow through the upper end of the first passage. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein the second position of the valve at least partially blocks the flow of liquid through the lower end of the second passage. 9. The system of claim 7, wherein the cup is connected to a guide ring configured to be inserted in the fill passage of the storage tank. 10. The system of claim 9, further comprising a sleeve configured to be connected to the guide ring. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the sleeve has a mounting flange. 12. The system of claim 7, further comprising a float connected to the valve. 13. The system of claim 7, further comprising a venturi connected to the first passage. 14. A system for preventing overflow in a storage tank which is fillable via a nozzle, the system comprising: a fill passage connecting the storage tank to an external atmosphere;a cup disposed within the fill passage and having a spring-loaded flap at its lower end;an adjacent passage having a lower end disposed at a predetermined level within the storage tank and an upper end communicating with a hole in the fill passage;a vent passage connecting the adjacent passage to the external atmosphere; anda valve disposed in the vent passage which permits the flow of air through the vent passage and prohibits the flow of liquid through the vent passage. 15. The system of claim 14, further comprising a fill fitting disposed at least partially within the fill passage. 16. A system for preventing overflow in a storage tank which is fillable via a nozzle, the system comprising: a fill passage connecting the storage tank to an external atmosphere;a cup disposed within the fill passage;an adjacent passage having a lower end disposed at a predetermined level within the storage tank and an upper end communicating with a hole in the fill passage; wherein, after a level of liquid in the storage tank reaches the predetermined level, a portion of the liquid will rise through the adjacent passage, and out of the hole in the fill passage;a vent passage connecting the adjacent passage to the external atmosphere; anda valve disposed in the vent passage which permits the flow of air through the vent passage and prohibits the flow of liquid through the vent passage. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the hole in the fill passage corresponds to a hole in the nozzle.
