In cold weather, the gas sprays out of the tank line while filling when it gets about 1/2 full. It is messy, scary, inconvenient, and dangerous. I smell like gas the rest of the day. In warm weather its not a problem, but it happened once last year (which I thought was a fluke) and now all winter when its cold I cannot fill it more than halfway. Even when I don't when I pull out the fuel nozzle I hear air escaping.
