The tank bulges up above the filler spout to create a deadspace that you can't fill with fuel unless you are determined and keep going after the pump cuts off- or rock the car up & down to slosh the air out.
If you do fill the deadspace, when the fuel expands neat fuel goes into the evap cannister along the vent, and is drawn into the engine when it purges, making it run too rich, and missfire.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Maybe a different interpretation of brimming. I would let the nozzle cut out and then remove it enough to trickle some more to fill to the top. Now I just fill until the flow stops and that's it Either way it solved the problem for me
