fuel tank overflow &bastard plug

The last 2 times that I have had a full tank on a hot day the fuel has started to pour out the filler(even when the cap is on) I expect this is due to the vapour expanding in the heat and pushing the liquid out because when i rock the car the vapour bubbles out the filler and the level goes down. I think the vent to the charcoal canister was supposed to deal with this... The line to the canister appears to be fine (no blockage), so do problems with the canister ever occour? Does it need to be replaced? or can it be serviced in some sort of way? (failing this, maybe my problem is elsewhere?)
Also, any tips on how to crack the oil fill plug on my diff? Ive tried for ages to undo it, from using a large socket to a big shifter to swearing at it loudly but it just wont budge! (it is a normal sort of bolt that turns ccw right?). It looks like at some stage someone has painted the diff part of the axle red, maybe the paint is jamming the thread or something??
car is aus sprinter, 4ac, s diff
cheers guys
