I've had fuel pour out once - but not from the pump. We had someone replace the fuel pump and they forgot to put the gasket on.

I agree it sounds like a crazy idea, but it works. The automatic cutoff on those fuel dispensers works really, really well. I've been driving for over 30 years and have never seen it fail.
