Overfill fuel.

I have a 2003 Civic and yesterday when I fill up the gas it overflowed.
Is there any harm in this?
I heard there is a possibility that it can damage the evaporator, Is
that true and in what way?
Thanks,

The only thing that may occur, is your check engine light may light up. I
speak from experience. The dealer charges $46.00 (plus tax, of course) CDN,
to reset the light.

You have to pay to have the light reset? Why? I once lost the fuel cap
on my car which cause the check engine light to go on. After purchasing
a new one, the dealership told me that the light would go off after a
couple days...which is exactly what happened.

If raw gas gets into the activated charcoal canister, it will ruin it
and theoretically must be replaced. You probably have to overfill all
the time (like me) to cause this.
