08 OB does not give me this problem... 04 did.. I assumed there was too much hose or too many turns from cap to tank etc. Used to take 20 min to fill it up.
I mess with Texas

How do you get to the fuel line to smooth it out? I have an 05 outback. Is it in the storage/sundeck area?

My 2005 Outback sprays me with gas too and it's flippin' annoying. I keep meaning to open the access to the vent hose and try to straighten it out or do something!!

I had 04 Outback.. Fuel hose was cut about 2" too long so it took a hard turn shortly after the filler neck.. Former owner told me he talked to dealer and they said the constant splashing of fuel was normal.. HAH AHHAA it took me forever to fill up..
I pulled the hose out and bought a new one and cut it a bit shorter so the transition was more of a curve than a 45. Worked MUCH better.Brad

I've got no problems with my 07 Outback, but have read on more than one occaision about going in and cutting the filler hose a bit to fix the problem for boats that spit back.
