When this happens you are polluting the environment and wasting money spent on fuel that you are not using. Fuel vapors are toxic and bad for your health. Overfilling can also cause your car’s fuel vapor system not to work properly. Besides, your tank needs additional space for fuel to expand. To avoid any potentially hazardous situations, stop fueling when the pump clicks the first time.

The closed positive ventilation and vapor recovery system needs a certain amount of compressible air volume or free surface area to operate properly. Completely filling the tank may force fuel into the vapor recovery reservoir and might damage the fuel pump or make the car stall or run poorly. I think most gas caps do have a vent to let air into the tank to replace the fuel that is sucked out but, the hole is so small that it doesn't really play a big role while the car is running. Also, the fuel from the underground gas tanks at the gas station is colder than the air in summer and can expand and leak through the gas cap vent causing a strong fuel smell or even a small fuel spill.
