after my light starts blinking, i usually wait another 40 miles or so before i get gas. the light will start blinking faster and faster. usually if i wait this long, i can get a little under 12 gallons of gas in the car. it has to be the filler neck.

if you top it off, then you can put in more gas than the tank size, but thats ill-advised. more often than not, when people can put in more gas than what their tanks hold, its the station ripping you off. the "more" gas they sell you, the more they make. be sure the pumps have been recently inspected and approved by the proper civil departments, be it weights and measures or so forth. all the stations near me have dated and initialed stickers on all of their pumps certifying accuracy. i have yet to put in more gas than my tank can hold...

Save yourself the trouble... there were a few members doing this, and it ruined their fuel pumps. Our fuel pumps use the fuel running thru it to cool it, and by going that long with so little fuel in the tank, you risk becoming a member of the burnt out fuel pump club.
