Other Fuel System Tank Mounting Problems of Ford Taurus

On 5/20/19 I filled up my fuel tank and when I returned home I smelled gasoline. I looked under the vehicle and noticed that fuel was leaking from the top of the fuel tank on to the ground. I immediately put down absorbent, parked the vehicle on a flat surface of my driveway and placed a large catch pan under the vehicle where the fuel was leaking. The vehicle had passed emissions about 2 or 3 months prior that includes a test on the fuel system. The amount that leaked out was approximately one half of a liter in total then stopped. No check engine light has ever come on and the fuel leak only happens when I fill the tank until the gas pump stops, I haven't filled the tank full again until yesterday 9/17/19 when I filled the tank full. After the first leak was noticed I brought the vehicle to a mechanic that put the car on a lift and dropped the fuel tank pressurized it and could not find out where the fuel was leaking from. He installed a new sending unit and fuel pump gaskets and reinstalled the fuel tank, filled the tank full and no leak was noticed. To be safe and ease my mind I didn't fill the tank full until yesterday 9/17/19 when I noted the leak again. The mechanic said he didn't notice any premature wear on the fuel tank or any of the components when I brought it to him. I spoke to another mechanic today and he said it could possibly be a faulty emissions valve that is located on top of the tank. I have an appointment on 9/20/19 to have the vehicle checked out again. I am checking here to see if others have had the same issue and if a recall was ever available and if not too add this to complaints.

Gas gauge indicator misreads the amount of fuel in the vehicle. Gauge varies by a half of a tank between uphill and downhill. With six gallons of fuel the vehicle can run out of fuel while going up hill or when parked on an incline. The dealer has been notified.
