Overflow prevention apparatus for use with fuel tanks are described herein. An example overflow prevention apparatus includes a fluid coupling configured to fluidly couple a fluid tank to a liquid fill passage. The fluid coupling includes a first portion configured to receive a liquid via the liquid fill passage and a second elongate portion configured to convey the liquid received via the liquid fill passage to the fluid tank. The second elongate portion has an aperture adjacent an end of the second portion. Also, the second portion is configured to extend into the fluid tank to prevent at least one of a gas or vapor from flowing between the fluid tank and the liquid fill passage when a liquid in the fluid tank is in the aperture.
