WHEN REFUELING GAS COMES OUT WITHOUT TOP OFF. DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON FUEL INJECTORS SAID IT WAS FINE . WHAT COULD IT BE ?
There was a recall on this type of problem a while back. I had the same issue and brought it to Dodge to get fixed. You should have received something in the mail but if you didn't here is the information.

Could be a pinched breater tube to the gas tank.
As you put gas in the car, the air has to come out of the breather hose.

2006 Dodge Durango gushing gas tank without topoff. Dealer claims I need whole new tank for $1000.00. This problem strated immeadiately after rear brake rotors were replaced. I suspect pinched line. Taking truck to another mechanic.
Same problem, started in the very cold weather. Thought it may be condensation because it went away when weather got warm. Now that I think about it, it started right after I had new tires put on the car.
