2005 Jeep Wrangler

WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, WHEN THE PUMP CUTS OFF GASOLINE SPURTS OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND AND SOMETIMES OVER THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE NOZZLE IS BEING HELD AND SQUEEZED BY THE PERSON FILLING OR IS LOCKED IN POSITION FOR HANDSFREE FILLING. IT HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY WITH FILLUPS FOR THE PAST 4-5 MONTHS NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION IS USED.

DURING FUELING, WHEN THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY STOPS THE FLOW OF GASOLINE , FUEL SURGES BACK THROUGH THE FILLER TUBE AND VIGOROUSLY SPLASHES OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ANYTHING OR PERSON WITHIN 2 TO 3 FEET OF THE FUEL FILLER. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. IT HAS SPILLED FUEL ON EVERY FILL UP (AT LEAST ONE CUP), DESPITE PRECAUTIONS (SLOWING FILLING RATE). MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP.

AT AROUND THE 50K MILEAGE MARK, FUEL WOULD GUSH OUT WHEN FILLING UP THE TANK. TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, OLD AND BRAND NEW PUMPS, ALL RESULTED IN GAS GUSHING OUT AS THE PUMP TURNED OFF. CHRYSLER-JEEP SERVICE REPLACED THE FUEL FILLER TUBE. TOPPED OFF THE GAS TANK AFTER THE "FIX", SEEMED GOOD. LET THE TANK GO DOWN TO LESS THAN 1/4 THEN FILLED THE TANK AND THE GAS GUSHED OUT YET AGAIN! THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT ISSUE. PLEASE REQUEST JEEP TO FIND A REAL FIX FOR THIS AND ISSUE A RECALL.

WHEN I FILL MY JEEP UP WITH FUEL IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS WITH FUEL SPEWING ON ME THE GROUND AND MY VEHICLE. NOTHING SEEMS TO CHANGE IT NOT SLOWING DOWN THE PUMP OR ANYTHING. MY RESEARCH BRINGS ME TO IT BEING A FAILURE WITH THE ROLLOVER/CHECKVALVE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FILLER TUBE FAILING TO CLOSE ALLOWING FUEL TO OVERFLOW. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/GAS-SPILLING-OVER-WHEN-FILLING-872096/ I HAVE TWO MORE FRIENDS WITH JEEPS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX THE ISSUE IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WAS GOING TO ENTER MY VIN BUT THE VIN ENTRY DOESN'T WORK. SO NO VIN. *TR

MY "NEW" USED 2005 JEEP TJ WILL SPILL GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE WHEN FILLING UP GAS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I DO IT MANUALLY OR LET IT FILL UP WITH THE AUTO SWITCH ON. EVEN WHEN I "HEAR" THE GAS NEAR THE TOP OF THE TANK IT STILL SPITS GAS OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO MY HANDS, THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. WHAT A PAIN IN THE [XXX].

WHILE FILLING GAS TANK IN SAN DIEGO AT THE SAME LOCATION I HAD FILLED UP AT MANY TIMES THE FUEL PUMP KICKED OFF AND IN LESS THAN A SECOND LATER GAS CAME SQUIRTING OUT OF THE VENT HOLES WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO SPRAY GAS 3 - 4 FEET AWAY FROM THE CAR. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP BUT OVER THE LAST 10 MONTH THIS HAS OCCURRED AT MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I HAVE ALSO TRIED FILLING AT THE LOWEST SPEED OF THE PUMP BUT IT WILL STILL SPRAY OUT. IT STOPPED FOR A MONTH OR SO BUT HAS STARTED UP AGAIN OVER THIS LAST MONTH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT COMES OUT WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO GET INTO SOMEONE'S EYES OR POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED MY SHIRT AND PANTS WERE SPRAYED WITH GAS. *TR
