When filling up at the gas station, the gas will back splash out of the filler tube when it fills up. the gas tank does not allow for the air to disperse when filling it up. this is a safety issue and needs to be a recall ! if you are not aware of this happening you will get gasoline on you if you are near the fuel nozzle.
When filling the gas tank the filler tube will release approximately a liter of fuel.
When filling with fuel, it gushes out even when filling very slowly.
When filling the fuel tank and the gas nozzle automatically shuts off, gasoline shoots out of the tank after about a 2 second delay. this has occurred at multiple gas stations. this has occurred with the jeep wrangler on local gas pumps that i use frequently to fill my honda civic without incident.
When filling up with gas the gas spews out as the tank becomes full instead of shutting off. doesn't matter what gas station or how i fill up. happens every time. *tr
When filling gas tank, gas overflows spilling fuel all over vehicle, pump and any persons close by. this happens just after the pump shuts off, and happens at every fill up.
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.
Vehicle now since date of initial occurrence spews fuel back out of filler neck when fueling. spilt fuel launches out from trapped pressure in tank and covers the ground and side of vehicle. it also splashes on operator but i usually stay back if i can help it. i have tried different gas stations but find the station is not a factor in this issue. it also doesn't matter if i stop the pump manually or allow the mechanical feature of the pump stop the fueling process. the jeep did not have this problem when new.
Gas will spill out (splash) from the filler tube because the automatic fuel shutoff feature on gas pumps will not detect fuel fill level until too late. gas will usually hemorrhage enough to splash out of the tube and run down the side of the vehicle and collect on the bumper. if you stand too close in some cases you might get gas on your clothing. this seems to be a common problem with late model jeep jk models
When refueling, the vehicle ejects between 1 tblsp and 1 pint of fuel from the filler neck depending on the pump, outside temperature, and fuel level prior to filling. fuel is ejected a distance of up to 6' (observed). fuel is only spilled when the tank is filled and at termination of the procedure. warm temperatures eject more fuel. this occurs 100% of the time and i need to warn attendants so they don't get fuel splashed on them. we are in oregon where self-service is not allowed. *tr
When filling gas tank with gas, gas will spill out of fill neck when tank fills-up.
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.
Starting when the vehicle was approximately 2 1/2 years old, gasoline pumps no longer shut off when the vehicle is being filled with gas and the tank becomes full. gas continues to pump, spilling from the vehicle, and the pump has to be manually shut off. it didn't do this when new, nor did my prior wrangler (2000 model owned for 5 years).
