Default weird mechanical problem

I have a 2000 porsche 911 . I was trying to fill up with gas today and although empty it only accepted 1/2 gallon and then spilled out the fuel. This happened several times and i even dissconnected the battery in case it was an electronic problem but no luck.

I called porsche and they said they had some kind of system to prevent people pouring in weird liquids- maybe it is malfunctioning.

What the hell is happening to my car????

I've had that happen on the odd occasion.. I normally play with the little flap with the nozzle then start again.. in my mind I think its a build of of gas that is shooting the gas back out.. I may be way off, but it always works after, so I never went any further

Maybe there is a fuse related to the fuel gauge or sensor.
Pull that fuse and see.
Did you pull the battery for a least 5 mins?

Did Porsche offer any help or suggestions?
