If you ever go to NJ and have someone else fill the tank, that will explain it. An overfull tank will introduce liquid gasoline into the charcoal canister and vapor lines. That will make filling the tank 'slow' as the fumes have no where to vent. It also introduces excess fumes to the intake as gas fumes are released from the charcoal canister.

Drive around with 1/2 - 3/4 tank full as your max for a while, letting the system 'dry' out.

An aside note:

There are 2 fuel lines coming over the side of the engine. The return line has a flexible, rubber line at the end of the hard line. REPLACE the flexible line with a short piece of injector hose if the line is still original. These tend to crack at the 25 year mark and leak fuel = fire.
