Default Overflowing petrol

I filled my tank today and then drove the short distance home. Car was parked up for about 45 mins and then I moved it to let my wife on the drive. When I got out there was fuel on the road and running from somewhere up the top of the tank. I only lost about half a litre but it looked to be quite a free flowing leak.

Does anyone know the likely area/cause? I'm guessing the fuel expanded after coming from the cooler underground tank to the warmer environment, but I wouldn't expect it to overflow like this.
