It looks like the EPA tank upgrade has regulations in mind about tank overfills as well:

Overfill Protection

Your UST must have overfill protection. New USTs must have overfill protection devices when they are installed. The three main types of overfill protection devices are:

1.automatic shutoff devices,
2.overfill alarms, and
3.ball float valves.

You and your fuel deliverer must follow industry standards for correct filling practices.

Overfills usually release much larger volumes than spills. When a tank is overfilled, large volumes can be released at the fill pipe and through loose fittings on the top of the tank or a loose vent pipe. The tightness of these fittings normally would not be a problem if the tank were not filled beyond its capacity. You can solve overfill problems by:

Making sure there is enough room in the tank for the delivery BEFORE the delivery is made; Watching the entire delivery to prevent overfilling or spilling; and Using overfill protection devices.

I think the CAPSCAN will be a big help. UST owners should know exactly how much room there is in their tanks
