What kim mentioned is probably not your problem. A common problem is a cracked vent hose, connector or gromet that is on the top of you tank that will overflow gas once the tank is full. It is a really scarry thing at first, but is easy and fairly cheap (35$ at dealer i think) to fix. Good luck and email for more help M 84
