After filling up, I noticed some gas on the ground. I thought it was overflow. I looked under the car, and gas was pouring out. To make a long story short, there is a gasket between the filler neck and tank, which failed. Had that happened on the highway at 75mph, well, I don't want to think about that. Check that gasket NOW!

Yup. Pretty common failure. The gasket is still available from Ford so try and keep the tank around 1/2 full or less until getting it swapped out. Not a terrible job.
Nope. Still available. Superseded part number from the fox years. Same grommet from 1981 thru 1997

You can buy a 2 pack on Amazon for $10 or you could, was identical to the Dorman and spectra ones I had. .. They should be replaced any time you drop the tank. Its just a rubber seal. I ve seen cars that leaked for years, ppl globbing rtv around them etc its common on a lot of cars beside just ours... There pretty much one time use since its narrower then the fill tube to seal it..
