your fuel filler neck has crack(s) in it. replace it and you're good to go. it's easiest to take the bed off to do this, but shouldn't take more than 5-10 min to swap the broken parts

There must be some type of hole if it is pouring out like you say it is. i would've got under right there and then to find out where it was coming from. I'm unaware of a 'common problem' that it could be.


I would take a bright flashlight and go back to the gas station and keep putting a dollar in until you find the leak.

It's hard to say whether or not the amount of gas you put in this time is related to the problem at hand. With the cold weather we've had in Florida lately, I wouldn't be surprised if your filler hose contracted and then expanded again, causing cracks in already old rubber.

replace the rubber hose at the bottom of the fuel filler. my truck used to do this until i replaced the rubber hose. if you look underneeth the bed directly below the fuel door is where its located.
