Every time I fill up my 2008 jeep wrangler, fuel spills out of the filler neck. I took the jeep to the dealer who told me that the vent valve in the fuel tank is sticking and that I needed to replace the entire tank to correct the problem.
2008 Jeep Wrangler 2-DR 4x4 fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 128, newest first, as owners wrote them.
At approximately 30,000 miles a problem started where I can no longer "fill" my gas tank because no gas pumps will stop on their own. Once the tank is full gas will continue to pump until I physically stop the pump. This did not happen for the first 30,000 miles and just started to happen for no apparent reason. I now judge how much gas I think I need and stop the pump prematurely.
Everytime when filling up at a gas station the nozzle clicks off and then gas spews out of the filler neck approx 2 cups.
Fuel overflow when filling up with gas. The pump doesn't shut off until after it has spilled all over the ground and side of the vehicle. Happens on a regular basis.
Every time I fill the tank on my 2008 jeep wrangler a significant amount of fuel overflows out of the tank. This is a serious health and safety issue. This problem occurs when I fill the tank myself or when an attendant fills it. I have been told by the attendant at my local station that this is common to this make and model.
Starting at 35k miles on my 2008 jeep wrangler...each fill up at the gas station, gas would spew out after the gas pump would click off. This is a very hazardous condition. The only way not to have the gas spill out is to not fill the tank up. A definite flaw in design as I've been reading its happening to lots of jeep owners from 2007-2010.
If I fill up my 2008 jeep wrangler the gas overflows and shoots back out of the tank at the end.

Every time I fill up with gas, my 08 jeep wrangler 2door will overfill. It doesn't matter what station I am at, or how much gas was in the tank previously. It will always spew about a cup of gas on the side of the vehicle and pavement upon filling. Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6w487onkso the link is to a video I found of a person that has a similar problem, also with a wrangler.
Every time I fill my jeep wrangler my gas tank will overflow. The gas pump will stop, recognizing that the tank is full, but the tank will overflow with about 1-2 cups of gasoline. This is happened at every gas station I go to. I feel that this is a fire and environmental hazard. This problem has been occurring for the past 6 months.

Gas shoots back out of the filler neck onto me, the jeep, & the ground before the pump cuts off every time I fill it up. This just started a few months ago. I bought the jeep from a friend who purchased it new, & she said that it had just started doing it a few weeks before I got it from them. It never happened until the jeep got about 40,000 miles on it.
My 2008 jeep wrangler sahara has fuel overflow every time that I fill the tank. It spills all over the side of the car, on the ground, and on myself if I am in front of the nozzle. I took it in 2 years ago, and was told that everything was fine. I have tried filling it differently, but it still spills a little when it is almost full. It makes my hands stink, and my garage. I am afraid it will corrode the paint on my car. I have heard of other wranglers with the same problem, and my wife has a 2009 wrangler that has the exact same problem.
When filling up the gasoline tank on my 2008 jeep wrangler x 2-dr, the gas pump does not automatically stop and the gas pours back out of the filler hole and runs down the side of the jeep and onto the ground.

We have a 2008 jeep wrangler, 2 door. 4x4 .whenever we fill the gas tank with the automatic shutoff att he pump engaged, gas overflows out of the car before automatically shutting off. This happens all the time and various gas stations throughout the year. Now we have to manually listen to the gas flowing in and stop it from filling up entirely. This is a problem at full service stations, like getty, or when we are in new jersey (full service is mandatory in nj).this is not only a major inconvenience but this has to be a safety hazard. Does someone have to die before chrysler/jeep recognizes this as a defect.
While refueling my 2008 jeep wrangler the fuel fill would overflow when full rather than cause the gas pump to trip. This happened every time I would refuel. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the gas tank and the evap canister.

2008 jeep wrangler jk (2 door). Gas leaks out of top of the filler neck when filling the jeep up with gas. The auto shutoff on the gas pump clicks and then there is prob 1/4 to 1/2 gallon of gas spilling down the side of the car. Intermittent problem and its not because im topping the tank off. There seems like there is something wrong with the car because it happens at all different gas stations with or without the rubber cover on the gasoline pump filler neck.
When I fill up my 2008 jeep wrangler. Gas shoots back out of the vehicle. Enough to run down the bumper to the ground. If you are not paying attention the gas can get on you.
When filling the fuel tank on my '08 jeep wrangler, the tank overflows and spills gas all over the side of the vehicle. I lock the tab on the fuel nozzle to auto fill the tank, and everything works as normal until the pump shuts off. When the pump shuts itself off, it is quickly followed by gas gushing back out of the filler port. The first time it happened, it sprayed gas all over my pants, shoes, gloves, all over the back corner of my jeep, and left a 3ft diameter puddle of fuel on the ground. I have had the jeep since new (bought in feb '09) and it just turned 40k miles. The first instance happened about 2 weeks ago, and it has happened three more times since then.
When filling my 2008 jeep wrangler (2 door) with gas and the pump automatically shuts off about 0.5 gal of gas will spill out of the fill tube on me, my car, and the ground. Got a nice gas burn on my foot the first time this happened. The second time I stood away from the car not knowing if the problem was with the gas pump or my car. After having gas spill from my car twice I don't fill the tank any more and every time I do put gas in I am afraid I will have another spill as I am not sure how full I can get it before I have problems again.
When fueling my 2008 jeep wrangler fast, the automatic shutoff will click off when the tank is full. Then the tank spits gasoline back out of the filler neck and down the side of the jeep. A couple times I tried filling the tank at the slowest automatic rate and the valve didn't shut off when the tank was full. This started in early 2010, but it wasn't on every tank fill. Now, it happens every time I try to completely fill the tank. As of today I have under 29,000 miles on the jeep.
