FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THIS VEHICLE HAS A FUEL OVERFLOW SPILL PROBLEM EVERY TIME I GAS IT UP. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM A LOCAL GAS STATION BECAUSE I CONSTANTLY SPILL FUEL DUE TO A JEEP DEFECT THAT DOES NOT SHUT THE FUEL PUMP PRIOR TO FILL. CLEARLY A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED - WHEN FUELING MY VEHICLE AT A GAS STATION AND REACHING THE "FULL" LEVEL GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND ANYTHING CLOSE BY BECAUSE OF AN INEFFICIENT DESIGN IN THE TWO PRESSURE TUBES ON THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP WRANGLER TJ/LJ MODELS AMONGST THE JEEPING COMMUNITIES BUT NO ACTION HAS EVER BEEN TAKEN TO ADDRESS THIS BY ANY AGENCY OR COMPANY. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF JEEP WRANGLERS OWNERS REPORTING THIS PROBLEM BUT NO ACTION HAS EVER BEEN TAKEN BECAUSE AS OF YET NO RESULTING LOSS OF LIFE OR SIGNIFICANT HARM HAS OCCURRED. I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AT ALMOST EVERY OCCASION WHERE I HAD TO STOP AND FUEL MY VEHICLE. IT HAS OCCURRED AT BOTH OLDER GAS STATIONS WITHOUT SPILL RESISTANT NOZZLES AND GAS STATIONS WITH THE NEWER SPILL RESISTANT PRESSURE NOZZLES. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE JEEP GAS TANK HAVING ONE OF THE TWO PRESSURE TUBES INVOLVING AN INNER TUBE THAT EXTENDS SEVERAL INCHES INTO THE TANK TO ATTEMPT TO EQUALIZE PRESSURE WHICH ACTUALLY CREATES AN AIR IMBALANCE THAT ALLOWS FOR FUEL TO SURGE BACK UP THE SPOUT DURING REFUELING WHEN THE FUEL FLOW INTO THE TANK IS STOPPED. *TR

PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2005 JEEP WRANGLER IN NOVEMBER OF 2005. EVER SINCE THEN, WHEN FILLING THE TANK UP WITH GAS, THE GAS OVER FLOWS. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THERE WERE NO MODIFICATIONS. STOCK JEEP WRANGLER WHERE THE GAS OVER FLOWS EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP. NOTHING WILL CORRECT THE ISSUE UNLESS A RECALL IS ISSUED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THERE WAS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLAGE COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER HE WAS DISPENSING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK, WITH A RESPONSE OF FUEL SPRAYING OUT OF THE TANK. THE FAILURE CONTINUED FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS WHEN THE FUEL TANK REACHED FULL CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 3/17/10 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED IT HAPPENED AT EVERY FILL-UP. FUEL WILL SPILL ON THE GROUND. THE FUEL DISPENSER WILL SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, BUT FUEL STILL SPRAYS OUT. UPDATED 05/06/10.*JB

EACH TIME I TOP OFF THE TANK IN MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER, THE TANK OVERFLOWS AND GAS RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I AM BOTH PAYING FOR GAS THAT IS BEING WASTED, AND HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE PAINT UNDERNEATH MY GAS CAP WILL SOON BE RUINED. *TR

WHEN FILLING MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS IT OVERFLOWS AND SPRAYS GASOLINE OUT THE FILL HOLE INSTEAD OF THE FUEL PUMP SHUTTING OFF AS IT SHOULD. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FUEL UP REGARDLESS OF WHAT GAS STATION/PUMP I USE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A HUGE FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE AT THE PUMP THE GAS NOZZLE KICKS OFF AND THEN ABOUT A PINT OF FUEL DUMPS OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS WIDELY KNOWN ON THE WRANGLERS, WITH THE OLDEST VEHICLE I'VE HEARD THIS HAPPENING TO IS FROM '98 AND NEWEST A 2009. JEEP REDESIGNED THE WRANGLER IN '97 INCLUDING THE FUEL SYSTEM, SO I'M SURE THERE'S A DEFECT IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. CHRYSLER'S ANSWER IS TO JUST REPLACE THE TANK WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL AGAIN. THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS HAZARD AND COULD EASILY CAUSE A FIRE. ONE GUY SAID IT DUMPED FUEL ON HIS BOOTS WHILE ANOTHER GUY HAD FUEL SPRAY HIM FROM HEAD TO TOE. HERE IS A FEW LINKS FROM ONE FORUM SHOWING THE ISSUE INCLUDING A FEW VIDEOS (FAST FORWARD TO THE LAST 20 SECONDS) AND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

EVERY TIME I GET GAS IN MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER IT OVERFILLS BY THE TIME THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS LEADS TO GAS COMING OUT THE FUEL FILLER. THIS CAN LEAD TO UNSAFE CONDITIONS AS GAS IS FLAMMABLE. ALSO IT WILL EVENTUALLY MARK THE PAINT. *TR
