Default 2001 Honda Accord leaking fuel after filling over half tank.

I have a 2001 Honda Accord and fuel pours out after I fill above half tank and running. I took the fuel pump out and put a light in the tank and could not find any holes. Is there a hose that would cause this?I have searched as much as I could without dropping the tank. And advice?

I had a 2001 Accord with the same issue, it turned out to be a hole rusted through the top of the tank. Unfortunately replacing the tank means dropping the entire rear suspension.

Had a friend whose old car had same issue, although his didn't 'pour out.' Too expensive to fix, so he just quickly got used to never filling above 1/2 tank; car lasted many years like that.
I believe this approach is your future ...
