My trunk always smells like fuel! 700

Normally I only fill my tank about half way full, (high gas prices) however over the weekend I went on a road trip and filled it up all the way. I heard what sounded like a waterfall and looked under the car. The golden fuel I just paid way too much for was running out onto the ground from the middle of the car. This morning I took the fuel pump access cover off to try and see what the cause was and found nothing. The fuel pump seal looks clean and dry. As you all know, you can’t see much else through the access hole. Does anyone know what the topside of the tank looks like or what I should be looking for? I figure it must be a hose or something on the top of the tank since I don’t get the waterfall when I fill it half way. Any help would be greatly appreciated and please let me know if you need any additional info.
