I moved your thread from the intro section to the Avalon section. If anybody can help, it's these guys.
I've experienced that problem a few times. But only a certain stations. I think the hose gun was just too sensitive.

Look at the fuel filler neck under the cap you'll see a small vent hole attached to a tube. . Follow the tube underneath the car to where it ends as a rubber hose. Disconnect the hose and blow through it with compressed air or run a hangar wire through it. Bugs and crud get in there sometimes and plug the vent.
