Do the gas stations in Australia use those anti-smog vapor recovery nozzles like they do here in the USA? If so, I've found that in the warmer months these pumps like to shut themselves off prematurely when filling up my '89T2. I assume the anti-smog nozzle function interferes with the tank's ability to properly vent itself, so when it's hot outside, you get a big pocket of air trapped in there that prevents the tank from filling completely. Fix for me is to just remove the nozzle partially, allowing some air to escape, then re-insert and start filling again. You might have to do this several times to completely fill the tank -- on really hot days, I've added another 3~5 gallons after the initial pump shutoff this way.
