Yeah it is a real pain to diagnose exactly which part has failed because everything just ends up covered in petrol when it leaks.

I had a similar problem, well it wasn't gushing out, but leaking a small amount when over half full. Like Edward said it is likely the rubber coupling between the filler neck and tank. Or there is a ... |
