Ok, so as I understand the history, you had the spit back problem, the Dealer fixed it by replacing the fill tube, now 6mos later your having the spit back problem again, so gather up your work receipt & take it & the vehicle back to them to recheck their work.
Kinda sounds like something has a kink in it, did it come about suddenly again after some event & have you looked underneath at the fill tube connection & run over to the fuel tank??? As you know the fuel filter is in the fuel line after the fuel tank, so won't have any effect on the gas tank fuelling spit back problem, but if it was time to be changed, wasn't a bad idea for other reasons.

There's a screen that prevents any type of siphon hose from getting to the gas.
Maybe this screen is getting clogged or is restricting flow enough to activate the automatic fillup to switch off.
I'm just guessing here, but I know that there is a screen in the filler conductor.
