Has this happend to anyone with in cab tank?

My fuel gauge has been acting up, it's peged at full constantly. So I filled the tank last night before I got home because I wasn't sure how much gas I had.

This afternoon I go out to the truck and notice an oil spot on the pavement near the fuel tank filler. Without thinking I removed the cap and a bunch of fuel gushed out.

I'm thinking that filling it with the cool gas, the heat in the cab caused the fuel to expand and it had nowhere to go but out the filler.

Anyone had this happen before? I've filled the tank many times but I usually drove it for a while afterward. I guess it's just one of those gotchas with the in cab tank.
