Question rear gas tank problems

Hi all, i have recently bought a 1994 F150 4x4 with dual tanks. the first time I filled up I noticed that i could smell gas fumes from around the rear tank. Looked under the truck and no leak. I ran the gas to almost empty and used the front. Well today I filled the front and put another $20.00 worth in the rear again and noticed that the gas seems to be coming out of the neck and filler cap while driving, thus causing the gas smell (and leaking on the side of truck). Any suggestions why this is happening and can it be fixed. Thanks

If you truck has the rubber filler hoses check the gear clamps that secure them or damage in that area.

If you are running on the front tank and the back tank is overflowing then you have a bad rear fuel pump (check valve).
