Fuel is expelled when filling gas tank, which splashes on vehicle and person filling the tank. Gasoline fumes are very strong inside vehicle after filling tank, and requires windows to be open for considerable amount of time to relieve overly strong smell.

Everytime I get my gas tank filled on my jeep liberty it spills over onto the vehicle and the ground and makes my car smell of gas for a couple of days after, this first occurred while I was at a full service gas station I heard the pump stop followed by gas pouring out and the service attendant yelled, jeep must be full! Naturally I told the gas attendant he overfilled my tank and his response was, no its just a jeep thing, at first I didn't believe him but then the next time a filled it at another gas station the same thing happened (full service as well) I then filled the tank myself the following time and it happened to me as well! Naturally I don't fill my tank anymore! I have two young children and now I am hearing about all these recalls on suspension and gas tanks exploding it rear ended! I think it is time for chrysler to step up and recall these death traps! I like my jeep, the way it drives and the 4x4 feature but this is just to risky to keep these vehicles on the road, how many people need to get hurt or killed because they don't want to dish out the money for the recall. They probably wouldn't want their kids in a vehicle like that, so why should ours?!!
