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
