Doa44Green, sounds like you are looking at capillary action on the fresh surface of the gas bowl. Try just putting in about half and inch of gas very gently, - you'll see the sides of the bowl getting damper above the surface of the gas as it as it wicks upwards because of the rough surface of the casting ( like paper sucking up water). Once the casting absorbs sufficient fuel then the wicking is not great. level the half inch for a few minutes then top up, the actual level should now pretty well be settled at 5/8 in.
