Jeff, this sounds similar to the Racor LG-100 in-line spill preventer:
Installed in the fuel tank vent line, the Racor Fuel/Air Separator efficiently separates air from fuel forced into the line. Air is vented, and all fuel is returned to the tank.
I installed this a couple of years ago and have not had a spill yet. It will shut the vent line if the unit becomes overloaded with fuel increasing the backpressure which causes auto nozzles to stop. Yes, at $80, it's more than 3x the Wisalert. However, it doesn't rely on sound (I'm slightly deaf esp. to higher freq.) and returns the separated fuel to the tank.
I have pictures. I should put them on the web site. I should do a lot of things.
