    Anyone having problems with fuel overflowing when filling up with gas? Problem doesn't seem to be with fuel pump because wherever I fuel up it overflows. I have a 2021 Trd Off-road.

    So my Tacoma has never done this. However, my 2005 Jeep has always done it. It's actually extremely common on the older jeeps. It has to do with a valve in the fuel filler hose and venting. I actually replaced my fuel filler hose with one from a new jeep. This reduced about 90% of how much fuel overflows. Now, when I pump gas, I put the latch that locks the handle to the next notch, so it's not pumping at full blast. This 100% solves the issue now.

    So basically, if your truck is under warranty then I would take it back to them to get fixed...

    They are going to install a new tank and possibly a charcoal canister.
