sounds like you've swapped the fuel return line with the charcoal-cannister vent line.

they usually dump into what looks like the top of the tank, but if you open the tank up you'll see that the cannister pipe is designed to not get blocked/covered with fuel.

note: the cannister will prevent the tank from dumping fumes when the engine is off - so if you park the nearly-empty car in the sun, turn engine off then come back in an hour the tank will be pressurized to prevent those fumes escaping. If you took the car for a 5 minute drive, you'd find most of that pressure gone as the cannister will have dumped those gasses into the intake manifold.

The filler cap should also have a safety device that limites pressure in the tank - perhaps you have the wrong filler cap as well?

cheers,
Charles.
