Every time I fill up the gas backs up and comes out the filler hole. Aggravating and dangerous. What is the problem. Thanks

    You mean before the tank is empty? If so it's probably a blocked vent.

    Check your fuel tank vent hose for any kinks. It should have a straight path up to the filler vent. If the problem isn't a kink, put a t-piece near the tank in the vent hose and install a second vent. Doing this cured my slow fill problem.
