If this car is newer, it may flood the charcoal cannister in the engine compartment.
Never top off the tank. Just pump until the handle shuts itself off and leave it.

Nothing happens to the tank: gas will just dribble down the side of your car until you put the cap on. Aside from that it will be fine: you can't put in too much gas.

Pump all you want and it will still be there. You must be thinking of exploding gas tanks. But that is from tanks that are closed and high impact, leaking gas, and all it takes is one electrical spark.

Usually nothing other than a small spill. But it could cause a vapor lock. If so, simply uncap the gas cap and let the air into the tank. If it's vapor locked you'll hear a sucking sound when you remove the gas cap. Good luck.

each gas tank has a vent tube that runs next to the filler pipe. this helps air to vent from the tank at the same time as filling, if the vent tube will develop into constrained, the stress backs up adverse to the nozzle and journeys the close off. Have your mechanic examine this pipe for kinks or regulations, once cleared, you have to be able to service your motorcar generally.

we had an old car and we overflowed the gas in the tank. There was smut on the window when you turned it on everytime. The mechanic said that gas mixed in with the oil is this true. He recommended that we get another car

It will just overflow on the ground, nothing will happen to the gas tank its self.

it will slosh out and over run it,and run down the side of the car,and mess the paint up,it wont hurt it doing it a few times,but over a long period of time it will eat the clear coat off of it,and may also get all over you ,most pumps will shut off and will stop some of this from happening,but it will still get some on the car,good luck i hope this helps.

I don't think anything happens beside fuel starts spilling over onto the ground. Waste of money.

It is not the pump it is the fuel pressure regulator
