I've has a belly pan on my cars for 8 years and this is the first time it's happened. Combination of high ambient and long trip. Maybe it was the cheap Mobil gas, since it didn't do it when I filled up in Roscoe, but did when I returned home. I did have the AC on driving there, maybe the radiator fan was enough to cool the gas.
