20220906FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

When refueling the gas pump clicks off after a few seconds. Sometimes it doesn't click off but back splashes fuel out the gas filler hole. I have had gas spray back several times, getting all over the RV, the ground, and my clothes. Repair places have said there is nothing they can do because it is a design flaw cause the fill tube is too flat. This seems like a huge fire risk to me.
