Gas tanks are designed so that when the filling station pump detects a full tank, and cuts-off automatically, there is still an air space at the top of the tank.
This is to allow for expansion of the fuel due to temperature changes.
Therefore do not trickle fill, or use any other technique, to get the maximum amount of fuel into tank. If you are successful in eliminating the air space you could create a leak. ie. Fill with cold fuel, then drive to a parking lot in full sunshine - the fuel will expand and force its way out through tank vent or some other place.
