Jeep Wrangler 2-DR 4x4 fuel pump problems

Filed Apr 3, 2012 · Fuel system · 24,000 miles · VA

When filling up the vehicle at any and all gas stations, when the fuel pump handle clicks off automatically, a fairly large splash-back of gasoline exits the filler port and flows onto the vehicle, my hand, and the ground.

Fuel does not shut-off at fuel pump and gas spills out every time I re-fuel. The dealership didn't fix this when I recently had the vehicle serviced because it wasn't a re-call. I have since complained and it will be fixed under warranty during my next visit.

My 2007 jeep wrangler spits back fuel when filling the gas tank. This has been going on since I bought the jeep. I have had the fuel tank, o-ring, fuel pump and level unit replaced.

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.

I have a 2008 jeep wrangler, 2 door. At around 30,000 miles, I started to experience gas overflow when filling up. When the pump is left to automatically shut off, it will and then gas will flow out of the fill up tube. It has been anywhere from shooting out to just running down the side of the jeep. I would guess at least a cup of gas. This happens at various fuel pumps and different stations. I contacted the dealer and they said they have never heard of such a thing and maybe it was the pump. I told them it had happened at several different pumps, but they would do nothing. I now have to guess when the tank is about filled and go the lowest flow setting on the pump handle. If I get this right, I don't get gas on me or all over the side of my jeep. Never had this problem when it was new and I think this is a safety hazard that should be fixed.

When fueling my 2008 jeep wrangler (jk), and allowing the fuel pump to automatically turn off when the gas tank reaches the full level, fuel will often overflow out of the fill port. My assumption is that the pump is not turned off soon enough, leading to an overflow situation.

Fuel tank will overflow spilling anywhere from 1-2 quarts of fuel from vehicle when automatic fuel pumps are used. It appears as though the tank does not vent properly, when the automatic fuel pumps shut off (regardless of station) the tank appears to "burp" venting more gases and 1-2 quarts of fuel. This is a consistent problem happening regularly (every second or third fill up).
