Every time the fuel tank is filled to 3/4 or more there is always a back splash of about 2-3 cups of fuel. If engine has been running long could run down side of vehicle and ignite on hot exhaust pipes.

Gas tank fuel pump unit leaking due to severely deteriorated and cracked plastic. This was identified as the cause of a dashboard warning light. Only after dropping the fuel tank is the fuel pump unit visible. Air bubbles could be seen coming from the top of the fuel pump unit. A metal attachment ring was severely rusted and the fuel unit plastic casing was deteriorated and leaking. The white plastic used for the fuel unit does not seem appropriate for the heat and corrosion in that location. The fuel pump unit was replaced and the warning light is off. This vehicle had the fuel fill tube replaced six months earlier to resolve the fuel spill problem on this vehicle model. The warning light only appeared after that service. It was taken to the dealer once without finding the cause, and a second time when the problem was found. Once the light comes on it doesn't go off. The owner has some suspicion that the warning light comes on when the gas tank is a little low on fuel. Previously gas fumes could sometimes be noted. The car is stored outside. I, the owner, am concerned about the white plastic material used in the construction of the fuel pump unit.

Dodge durango 2008 with hemi 5.7 l engine stalls at low speeds after I fill up the gas tank. This happens every time I fill up the tank now. I have read on consumer forums that other dodge trucks and car owners have also reported this problem. It is dangerous, as the car stalls without any warning. This happens multiple times after fillup and after driving 20 miles or so the problem goes away. It is very dangerous as my car has stalled in busy intersections and while taking yield turns. The vehicle has also stalled while driving on highway after gas fillup and as I tried to slow down. When I reported to the dealer, they said it is not covered under warranty.

Vehicle was stationary at a filling station fuel pump with engine off. When the filling pump nozzle shuts off back pressure from the vehicles fuel tank forces a stream of gasoline back out of the fill neck. This happens every time the fuel tank is filled. I have read that this is a common problem in several chrysler vehicles caused by a faulty check valve in the fuel tank.
