When I fill up all the way, there's a profuse gas leak which occurs but ends in a minute or so.
Has anyone had first hand experience fixing this yourself and if so were there any parts that
needed replacement ?
Thanks in advance.

He's on the right forum, just turned out nobody had similar issues!

Sounds like the filler neck has deteriorated.

Look under truck under the panel, its probably just the filler leaking and not the tank or fuel system.

You may be pumping gas, into charcoal canister/evap system. One or two clicks only.
