2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x4 fuel system complaints
Page 5 of 9: complaints 101 to 130 of 223, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Fuel spills out of the filler port during the refueling process. This condition generally occurs when the fuel tank is filled to the full or nearly full level and the gas pump automatically shuts or clicks off. Spills fuel on me and down the side of the jeep and down to the bumper and exhaust. Started around 40,000 miles on the odometer.
For the past two years, almost everytime I fill my jeep the gas overflows right after pump shuts off. I've even tried to stop the pump and pull it out to let it settle before completely filling, but this hasn't helped. There is usually enough gas coming out to create a 3 foot puddle on the ground. This has happened at different stations, in different types of weather.
My jeep wrangler gas tank has a problem. A valve somewhere in the tank is sticking so that when the gas tank is filled at the pump, often times, gas will spill out until the pump shuts off. Probably a gallon or two spill out on the ground. Other times, the pump will shut off prematurely where the attendant must turn the pump nozzle upside down to get the gas to flow. I have read that this is a common problem with jeep wranglers for a few years now, but jeep hasn't addressed it with a recall despite causing a safety issue.
Whenever I fill the car up with gas once the tank is full the pump clicks off and the gas overflows.
Gasoline pours out of the fill pipe covering the owner and making a large puddle.
2007 jeep wrangler every time I fill up my gas tank it overflows. I have tried different gas stations, with different types of pumps, in different locations all over the state. Every time I fill up it overflows - no matter how far I press the gas pump triggers, or how quickly I fill up. This happens every time, so now I can no longer fill up my tank because of the serious hazard this causes for my health and safety! This is a very common problem with many jeep owners. Please help us get this addressed. Thank you very much.

While filling gas tank at a major station the gas tank would not accept gasoline at a high flow rate, it would only allow the tank to be filled at a very slow rate or it would click off indicating that the tank was full.
