Jeep is a 2007 wrangler. When filling up, gasoline overflows out of the fuel tank just as the tank gets full. Started at about 27k miles. Jeep now has 28,500 miles. It does not matter if the fuel tank starts out empty or if it is half full. It spills out every time now. The gas spills out onto the vehicle and runs onto the ground. This can't be good for the environment. In addition I get gasoline on my hands which is not healthy.

2007 jeep wrangler. Gas overflows when refueling. It happens when you just let the pump click off when full. I have never tried to overfill it, or "top it off". You simply fill until the pump clicks, and then a fair amount of fuel seems to bubble back out. It runs down the side of the vehicle and then leaves a fairly large puddle on the ground. This is definitely a safety hazard. This did not happen for about the first 2-1/2 years of ownership (23,000 miles) now it is just about every fill up.
Starting from the first time I filled my gas tank on my 2007 jeep wrangler 2 door xs package, every time I fill or come close to filling the gas tank and the pump automatically shuts off the fuel spills/ and or sprays out of the fuel filling tube. Many times it has sprayed me or whoever is pumping the gas.
Fuel overflows out of tank.
1) this failure happens at the end of refueling my gas tank. Just about the time the tank hits the full point. 2) the failure is that the gas sprays out of the tank when the tank hits the full mark. This causes the entire side of the car and bumper to be covered in gasoline as well as my hands and clothing 3) so far nothing has been done to correct the problem other than just not filling the tank to full.
2007 jeep wrangler x fuel spits back when filling. Started at about 20,000 miles.

When filling up 2007 jeep wrangler fuel spills everywhere when the pump clicks off. The happens every time when filling the tank.
When filling the gas tank using the auto shutoff on the pump handle, the gas tank shoots gas out all over just after the auto shutoff clicks off. It has sprayed on me and the ground and the vehicle.
Every time I refuel my 2007 jeep wrangler, fuel spills. When the tank is "full" the gas pump "kicks" off and fuel gushes from fuel filler... It does not matter where I get fuel or how much fuel is in tank when I begin filling... It always spills...
2007 jeep wrangler just before fuel nozzle automatically shuts off while refueling vehicle, gas flows out of the filler neck and down the side of the vehicle on to the ground. Happens every time I refuel, at any gas station doesn't matter which supplier.
When fueling up the vehicle, when the auto shut off turns the pump off the fuel overflows out of the fuel port. Even when slow pumping it still overflows.
My 2007 jeep wrangler has all of a sudden started spewing fuel from the gas tank each time I fill up. I don't try to top off the gas tank. Basically, the pump clicks, and then when I remove the nozzle from the tank, fuel starts spewing all over. It got on my hands and shoes, and all over the side of my jeep. This now seems to happen every time I fill up.
Starting in late 2008, when refueling my 2007 jeep wrangler jk, the automatic shutoff at gas pumps doesn't shut off when my tank is full causing fuel to overflow and occasional splash out of the fuel filler neck of the vehicle. If I do not shut off the gas pump manually before it is full, this has occurred every time I put fuel in the vehicle. This issue has resulted in minor to significant fuel spillage including soaking my hands and feet in fuel at various times. Other than monitoring and stopping the pump during refueling, I have taken no action to resolve the issue.
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.
Gas overflow when filling tank, spills on ground contaminate or safety cancer or fire, epa concerns of every new wrangler spills that is gallons of gas wasted or contaminating across the USA epa get involved please , every time filling up jeep wrangler 2007!!!! It spills!!!
Everytime I fill the tank it "spits back" gas. No matter how slow or what station I go to. It was fine until about 40k miles. Now it is a real safety issue.
When filling gas on my 2007 jeep wrangler. The gas nozzle will click off at full. And then 2-3 seconds latter aprox. One quart of gas will spill out of the filler neck down the side of the jeep onto the ground. This has been an on going problem for the last 3 months.
2007 jeep wrangler 2-door 1) nearly every time I fill up my gas tank, which holds 15 - 16 gallons per my estimate and fill-up history, it overflows (I have had the car for 13 months, fill up twice a week; 56 weeks x 2 = 112 * 0.90 = 100 times this has happened). The overflow is not because the tank is over-filled, as it is possible, in my experience, to add an additional gallon after initial overflow. 2) the mechanism that shuts off the pump handle automatically when the fuel tank is becoming full does not stop the pump. This results in excess fuel ending up all over the side of my car, the attached gas cap, and one's shoes and person if one is not expecting the fuel to spit back out. 3) nothing has been done as of yet to correct the failure.
Fuel spills out of the filler port during fueling. It happens when filling the tank to full. When the gas pump automatically shuts or clicks off, fuel spills down the side of the vehicle or shoots from the fill or nozzle. This covers the side of the vehicle, the ground, and sometimes the person fueling if standing nearby. Issue has occurred at many different pumps. Issue began at approximately 20,000 miles (reached in approx 2008) and has continued ever since.
While filling fuel tank, fuel spills out of filler neck after fuel pump shuts off.
Gas overflows tank @ almost every fill-up.
Gas tank overflow during fill up. This occurs almost every time I fill to full. I have stopped filling the tank to full to help stop this issue.
Everytime I refuel, gasoline will overflow and spill onto the ground. The pump will not stop the flow of fuel in time to prevent spillage. I've tried to slow the flow as it nears a full tank, but the problem has persisted. The only thing that will stop the fuel from overflowing is simply not filling the tank completely full. I have to stop at about 7/8ths.
Fuel spills out after the nozzle kicks off.
When you fill up, after the pump clicks off, lots of gas pours back out of the tank. It could run down near the muffler and ignite. Not to mention the environmental effects of gasoline on and in the ground.
1. Filling the tank with fuel. 2. Wait for the pump to click off on it's own. Every time I let the pump auto shutoff, it will spill 6-20 oz of fuel out the spout and onto the ground. 3. Have not corrected the problem.
2007 jeep wrangler gas filler neck. When topping off the tank with gas about 1-2 cups of gas comes out of the filler neck. Using the same pump on other cars it shuts off fine. Even when filling at a slow rate this happens.
I bought a used 2007 jeep wrangler 2 door with 34,000 miles on it. I had filed the gas tank several times only to have it backflow on to me and the side of the jeep making a real mess and creating a major safety hazard. Of course I blamed the service station pump for not stopping in time but this happens on every fill up when trying to fill the tank full. This problem is a dangerous problem and should be corrected before someone gets injured. My warranty is up 40,000 miles and I am told it needs a new gas tank to repair which of course is several hundred dollars of repair cost. This faulty part demands a safety recall be implemented or maybe a possible class action lawsuit before someone is injured.
My 2007 jeep wrangler x has had a recurring problem with fuel spilling from the fuel tank nozzle during fill-ups. When the tank is full and the gas pump shuts off, fuel gushed from the filler tube and down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. The fender and bumper near the fill nozzle are now discolored due to the situation. I have brought the vehicle to a dealer to complain about this, and they replaced the gas tank. This did not solve the problem. Every fill up, I have the same problem. I am concerned that at some point, the fuel will hit a hot area and ignite. I see that a number of complaints on this very issue have been filed (pe10032). Please address it!!!!
