When you say it is 'spilling' white gas all over the ground, do you mean that it is leaking out of the fuel line?
If so, then an o-ring is shot.

If it is spilling over the edge of the stove's burner head at start up, then you have turned it on for too long. Just turn it on long enough to see a little bit of gas coming from the burner head and then shut the valve off and light the fuel at the burner head, being mindful that it will usually result in a flare up.
