A system for preventing overflow from a tank being filled. An open-ended elongated adapted for fixture to a tank extends from an opening of the tank and proximate to a bottom of the tank. A nozzle connectable to a source of pressurized liquid has an open end extension extending through the opening into the elongated tube. The nozzle creates broadband acoustic signals inside of the elongated tube during filling. A microphone mounted on the nozzle near the open end extension senses resonant frequency signals of the acoustic signals and generates representative signals. A module processes the representative signals and generates a closing signal when the representative signals represent a critical resonant frequency. A shut-off valve between the fuel source and the nozzle is responsive to the closing signal.
