1. Agree. Fuel level sending unit.

2. Could be the way the pump nozzle fits in the filler neck. I've had my ho do this at particular pumps too. Backing the nozzle out a little and filling at a slower rate (or going to another station) always solves it. I think it has to do with the nozzle being too close to a bend in the filler neck, restricting the flow a little and causing a backup. Are you sure it was 2 gallons that spilled? That is a TON of liquid.

3. Could be many things, but since you are already having issus with the sending unit, I'm guessing the pump is on its way out. Change it out when you do the sending unit regardless. Same for the fuel filter.

I suppose a clogged tank vent could cause number 2 and 3 as well. I would begin by jacking it up, crawling under and taking a good look at the vent/evap lines.
