When the gas tank is filled gas shoots out when the gas pump shuts off. there seems like there is a buildup of pressure in the gas tank. this is an ongoing problem with every fill up. *tr
When filling the jeep up with gas, no matter if the pump handle is locked or i'm manually pumping, at multiple gas stations i have experienced overflow. it runs down the side of the car and all over the ground. it has happened numerous times at different stations. it seems dangerous, because this could be a fire hazard, and is an environmental hazard. i have seen several similar complaints on line, but when i checked with the dealer, i was told that they have not come across this problem. . i try to pump as slow as possible when i know it is near full, but still get gas coming out every time that i let it go until the pump stops. i am not filling past the first pump shut off. this is obviously a problem that the manufacturer should be fixing. *tr
When fueling, gasoline spits back just after pump automatically turns off. each time approximation one cup of gas is spilled on the side of the car and ground. in addition to wasting money, this is both a fire and environmental hazard. this occurs almost everytime the tank is filled up when the temperature is below 65f. *tr
the problem occurs on a replacement gas tank. it did not happen with the original tank. when the tank is filled, the click of the pump shutting off can be heard, yet gasoline spews out of the filler pipe, down the side of the car, and onto the ground. this problem occurred a few times while the replacement tank was under warranty. i blamed the gas stations until i was informed by one of the attendants cleaning up the toxic spill that it was a known problem with jeeps. when i talked to my local jeep service on the phone, i was informed that the tank would need to be replaced. the cost of replacing the tank would be over $800 since the current tank was out of warranty. the problem has gotten worse in the last year, and i can no longer fill the tank completely without the gas spewing onto the ground. slowing the rate of filling does not prevent the problem. repeated stopping and starting the filling process does not prevent the problem. the only thing that can be done to avoid the problem is not filling the tank all of the way. video of the problem occurring can be provided upon request. *tr
Faulty/defective fuel check valve/system that causes the tank to overflow when filling with gas at the pump. gas spouts out of the tank when reaches full. *tr
When filling this vehicle with gas, gas with spew out all over the car and the person holding the nozzle that is still in the gas tank. no matter what gas station used/pump and no matter how slow or fast it is going. i do not " top off". the spillage can be between a cup to a half gallon for no reason in particular. this is a very dangerous issue and needs to be resolved.i have to guess each time how much to put in so i can limit the amount of fuel spillage. this has been happening for years with no resolution.
