FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 5000 MILES, WHEN FILLING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH GAS, ABOUT ONE SECOND AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF TO INDICATE THE TANK IS FULL OF FUEL, APPROXIMATELY 8-12 OUNCES OF FUEL IS FORCEFULLY EJECTED OUT OF THE FILL NECK. THIS OCCURS AT EVERY FILL UP REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION BRAND. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING MY JEEP THE AND AUTO SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP STOPS A FAIR AMOUNT OF FUEL COMES SPILLING OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A DANGER AS THERE IS EXPOSED FUEL ON MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS IS A WASTE OF MY MONEY AND A RISK TO THE ENVIRONMENT AS THE SPILL IS ON THE CONCRETE. WHEN RAIN OR WASHED THIS FUEL WILL BE INTRODUCED INTO THE WATER SYSTEM. ALSO THE DANGER IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS RAW FUEL FLOWING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AND ON AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP,THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AND THEN GAS WILL ALMOST SHOOT OUT OF THE FILLING TUBE. THIS HAPPENS ON AT ANY GAS STATION AND LEAVES GAS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. I NOW ONLY GET GAS WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN GUESS ON HOW MUCH GAS I NEED. AT FILL UP, I PUT THE PUMP TO AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF UNTIL I ESTIMATE I AM 2 GALLONS SHORT. I THEN FINISH OFF MANUALLY AT THE LOWEST FLOW RATE. THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE TO WORK.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING GAS TANK A LARGE BACKSPLASH OF GAS COMES OUT AS TANK APPROACHES FULL. I TRIED ADJUSTING THE GAS HOSE NOZZLE BOTH IN AND OUT. SPLASHING OCCURS IN ALL CASES. GETS LESS THE FURTHER THE NOZZLE IS PULLED OUT. GAS COULD SPLASH ON PERSON STANDING CLOSE, MOSTLY RUNS DOWN SIDE OF JEEP AND ONTO AND OVER REAR BUMPER AND ONTO GROUND. SERVICE STATION ATTENDANTS HAVE COME OUT TO CHECK FOR ISSUE DUE TO AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLED. CAR HAD NO ISSUES WITH THIS FOR FIRST 3 YEARS. PROBLEM DEVELOPED SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING. ONLY FIX IS TO NOT COMPLETELY FILL TANK BUT YOU HAVE TO GUESS EACH TIME HOW CLOSE TO FULL THE TANK IS. GAS SPILLED OUT BETWEEN 1/10 AND 1/2 GAL EACH TIME -HARD TO MEASURE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, AUTO-SHUT-OFF OF THE GAS DISPENSER OCCURS TOO LATE. GAS POURS OUT OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS (AT EVERY FILL UP). TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I STOP THE FILL UP BEFORE AUTO-SHUT-OFF. JEEP / CHRYSLER SAYS THE GAS TANK MUST BE REPLACED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, AFTER THE GAS PUMP HANDLE SHUTS OFF, A PORTION OF GAS WILL FLOW OUT OF THE FILL TUBE. DIFFERENT POSITIONS OF THE GAS PUMP INSERTED INTO FILL TUBE STILL RESULTS IN GAS POURING OUT THE FILL TUBE. GAS WILL STILL POUR OUT OF THE FILL TUBE EVEN AT A VERY SLOW FILL RATE. DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS WERE USED WITH THE SAME RESULT. THERE IS GREAT CONCERN ABOUT THE SPILLED FUEL CATCHING FIRE ON THE VEHICLE OR A PERSON WHO THIS HAPPENS TO UNEXPECTED.

WHEN TRYING TO FILL FUEL TANK, THE GAS WILL OVERFLOW BACK OUT THE OPENING. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER HOW FAR THE NOZZLE IS INSERTED. THIS CAN BE MUCH WORSE IF THE JEEP IS POINTED SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL VERSUS LEVEL OR SLIGHT UPHILL. GASOLINE WILL FLY OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE WRANGLER AND CAN COAT THE PERSON PUMPING FUEL. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE I GET THE GAS. THIS STARTED AT 35000 MILES AS HAS GOTTEN WORSE. *TR

NOTHING HAS LEAD TO FAILURE. GAS POURS OUT THE FILL HOLE WHEN THE TANK IS ALMOST FULL EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE TANK. IT HAS HAPPENED FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. IT IS DANGEROUS AND CAUSES GASOLINE TO SPILL ON THE JEEP, GROUND, AND PERSON FILLING THE JEEP. *TR

GAS SHOOTS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONTO ME, THE JEEP, & THE GROUND BEFORE THE PUMP CUTS OFF EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP. THIS JUST STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO. I BOUGHT THE JEEP FROM A FRIEND WHO PURCHASED IT NEW, & SHE SAID THAT IT HAD JUST STARTED DOING IT A FEW WEEKS BEFORE I GOT IT FROM THEM. IT NEVER HAPPENED UNTIL THE JEEP GOT ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA HAS FUEL OVERFLOW EVERY TIME THAT I FILL THE TANK. IT SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR, ON THE GROUND, AND ON MYSELF IF I AM IN FRONT OF THE NOZZLE. I TOOK IT IN 2 YEARS AGO, AND WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I HAVE TRIED FILLING IT DIFFERENTLY, BUT IT STILL SPILLS A LITTLE WHEN IT IS ALMOST FULL. IT MAKES MY HANDS STINK, AND MY GARAGE. I AM AFRAID IT WILL CORRODE THE PAINT ON MY CAR. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER WRANGLERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND MY WIFE HAS A 2009 WRANGLER THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE LAST THREE OR SO TIMES I'VE FILLED THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF ON THE PUMP DOES NOT ENGAGE UNTIL FUEL HAS OVERFLOWED THE TANK AND SPILLED ONTO THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHICH FUEL STATION I GO TO. EACH INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED AT A FUEL STATION WHERE I USED TO BE ABLE TO FILL MY TANK WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT AN INVESTIGATION IS ALREADY OPEN REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I WOULD THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER CONSIDERING THE PROXIMITY OF THE FUEL SPILL TO HOT BRAKE PADS AND OTHER POTENTIAL SOURCES OF IGNITION.
