WHEN FUELING, IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS FUEL OUT FROM THE GAS TANK. IT SEEMS TO BE A BIT BETTER IF I MANUALLY HOLD THE FUEL PUMP AND PUMP THE GAS AT AN EXTREMELY SLOW RATE. I AM NOT ABLE TO LET THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY FILL OTHERWISE FUEL SPILLS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FUEL THE JEEP. *TR

CONSISTENTLY, WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF FILL RATE, IF THE NOZZLE IS NOT STOPPED MANUALLY, GASOLINE ERUPTS FROM THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. IT IS USUALLY ENOUGH TO LEAVE GAS DRIPPING DOWN THE VEHICLE AND A SMALL PUDDLE UNDERNEATH. THIS HAPPENS EACH AND EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED. *TR
