What owners say
When refueling, when the tank is full and the fuel pump nozzle shuts off, fuel splashes out of the fill neck. This happens on each fill up.
When filling up my fuel tank on my 2007 jeep wrangler at any gas station an alarming amount of gasoline gushes out of the fuel filler neck after the fuel pump has automatically shut off. I do not recalling this happening when the vehicle was new, it's only recently that this has occurred. Probably started around 8 months ago. It does not appear to be gas pump specific, I've tried approximately 20 different gas stations over the amount of time that this has been occurring. Fuel spills out onto the vehicle, the ground and also myself. Sometimes to the point that I've had to change clothes due to fuel splashing onto my garments.
While filling fuel tank, fuel spills out of filler neck after fuel pump shuts off.
Vehicle failed to shut off fuel pump during refueling operation when tank became full, allowing fuel to overflow onto the side of the jeep, and onto the ground.
After the fuel pump at a gasoline station shuts off indicating my gas tank is full, gasoline spews back out of the tank through the opening where the gas pump nozzle is inserted once the nozzle is pulled out after fueling. The amount of fuel spilled is significant. I believe it could cause damage to my paint and plastic pieces on my vehicle and is also a fire and environmental hazard. This is not a result of continuing to pump fuel while removing the nozzle. The flow of fuel through the nozzle has stopped but pressure from inside the tank forces fuel out when the gas nozzle is removed. This has occurred on multiple occasions at multiple gas stations and did not occur earlier in the vehicle's history and does not occur when I am fueling other vehicles.
Fuel blows out of tank after fuel pump shuts off. I've tried different gas stations and pumps but it does it every time.
My car was parked on an incline of about 20 degrees and I had 1/4 tank of gas. When I went to start the car it wouldn't turn on. All the lights on the dash came on, but the engine wouldn't turn over. My radio and lights worked fine. This is the 3rd time that this has happened in a year and 2 months. The two prior times, I coasted down to a flat area and the car started. Tonight it didn't. I think there is a problem with the fuel delivery system or fuel pump. The three times that this has happened I have had 1/4 of a tank of gas or less.
