Inner screens fail and charcoal granules clog the lines thus preventing the air in the tank from venting rapidly as the tank fills.
Gas spills when filling tank. When you fuel up the tank as the gas is entering the yank is pushes the air out through this hose to allow room for gas. In your case the air is not coming out and there is no room for fuel so it is like the tank is full which it is but with air not gas you may need to go to shop and have is cleaned out or if you are a little handy with cars you will need to go under the car locate evap canister. A good read.
You have 1 of two things happening. 1 You havent put a good enough seal from the pump nozzle to the filler hole to create a pressure seal not allowing the gas to build up to trigger the auto shut-off. 2 You have a leak somewhere in your tank or filler.
If you mean filling the gas tank via a filling station then its simple. Put nozzle into tank then press the lever. Release the lever and only then slowly withdraw the nozzle.
Do not shake or wiggle the nozzle just put it back in the holder. The more you shake and wiggle the more drips go on the floor. Is this the spilling you mean.
If the valve was stuck closed during the time you were filling up it may have caused the gas to spill out like that as it was unable to vent the gas tank. Since gas spilled out I would assume that it happened before and most likely gas got. Make sure that fuel is drained from the tank.
Remove fuel filler tube and hose. Check one-way fuel valve for operation as follows. When a stick is inserted the valve should open when removing stick it should close.
Do not drop any material into the tank. OK or NG OK INSPECTION END NG Replace fuel filler tube or replace one-way fuel valve with fuel tank. The most common cause of this type of problem is when the fuel filler necks inner tube comes off of the neck itself.

The last thing any driver expects is to get splashed with gasoline when fueling his car. Because gasoline is a volatile and flammable mixture of octane hexanes and heptanes extreme caution must be used during the refueling process. Gasoline has been known to splash in the face of car owners refilling their tanks.
All modern cars are equipped with an Evaporative Emission Control EVAP system. The EVAP system prevents fuel vapors from the fuel tank from escaping into the atmosphere. The EVAP system collects and temporarily stores the fuel vapors in the charcoal canister.
The charcoal canister is filled with activated carbon pellets that can absorb the fuel. If it spits back and also sometimes kicks off the pump while filling - before FULL - you may have a somewhat common Escalade problem with the charcoal EVAP canister and vent lines. Inner screens fail and charcoal granules clog the lines thus preventing the air in the tank from venting rapidly as the tank fills.
Air pressure builds as the tank fills because the air cant escape rapidly enough then you get a big burp at the end as the tank pressure overcomes the fuel in the neck and blows it out. If it was a filler neck restriction it wouldnt take gas quickly at any point in the fill up. Overflow of fuel when filling a boat fuel tank is caused by either a clog in the venting side of the tank or a blockage in the fuel fill hose.

Let me show you how to fix it. I too am wondering how prevalent this problem is gas tanks resistence to accepting fuel. Weve had this 1999 c280 only enough time for three fillups but each time the back pressure from the cars gas tankfiller pipe has annoyingly triggered the gas pumps auto shutoff mechanism to the extent it takes roughly 10 minutes to fill a 164 gal tank that on our Volvo would fill.

If you try to latch it in the last notch the fumes will trip the latch and cut the flow. You just have to be patient when filling the tank on these old Mustangs.
