You may still have a defective fuel pump retainer ring, it was a Mazda recall.
There should be a recall sticker on the car, if it was done.

 

^^ You can also run the VIN to see if any recalls are still outstanding.

Thanks for the info,so i ran my vin but says i have 0 recalls.
it seems when i went to pump gas yesterday i overfilled and the gas came out from the top of the tank/pump assembly.
my fuel meter was at 1/4 so thats why i stopped to pump,what should be my next step?replace the ring or assembly possibly?
thanks for the help

 

If that recall was addressed, the dealer monkey might've cross-threaded the new ring.
They're a PITA.

If you see a leak around that ring, contact your nearest dealer to get it fixed RIGHT.
And they shouldn't be able to charge you if that's the case.

 

Appreciate your help ill contact the dealer thank you
