Default Replacement Gas Tank Issue

I had this posted in the V6 Specific forum, but seeing how it really isn't V6 related I'll repost it here...

I had my gas tank replaced last week to fix the slow fill issue... Now with the new tank the damn thing doesn't cut off the flow of the gas quickly enough when I fill the tank!!! About a sec after it does cut off I get a backwash of foam/gas... has anyone else had this issue?? Wondering what approach I should take with the dealership regarding the issue. Got the tank replaced in the beginning because I found that I couldn't fill up my tank with any newer style pump, but old pumps were ok. Now new or old, I can fill the tank, but the car burps at me (very technical ) every time it finishes filling!!! I don't think it's much to ask to have a trouble free gas tank... Anyway enough ranting, if anyone else has had this problem, knows what the problem might be (and please refrain from making the oh so easy joke that I don't know how to pump gas), or has had this issue fixed let me know please. Thanks.

I had that happen a time or two, but it seemed to be fuel station specific.

It happened once to me... at the same station I always use. I chalked it up to a bad mechanism on the pump (not my tank, which has been perfect for the first 2700 miles)
