Hey team, I have a 2013 GT. Every time I fill up at the gas station, gas leaks from the overflow hose. I tried using a small funnel, but it's the same; there's no crack in the hose.

Can I block off this hose?
Do you have this problem too?
Thanks guys

When you fill do you just let the pump turn off, or do you TOP it off? If you do, that is what causes the issue. The excess fuel goes into the charcoal canister. Once it gets saturated, it wont take any more fuel. It has to go somewhere

I just sold my 2012 V6 automatic to a guy who says he is now smelling gas all the time, and he says the gas smell is coming from the right rear. I asked if he is filling it after it clicks and he said no. This car does have quite a bit of rust, is it a hose or weeping fuel line causing the smell? He said there is never anything leaking under the car, just the smell of gas.
