Fuel over flow when filling up at a fueling station. This started happening at 48,xxx miles. It happens every time I fill the tank. It does not matter where I fill. Does someone have to burn to death before this is corrected??????

Fuel overflow-during fuel fill up, gas flow back up the fill tube and spills on the ground.
When fueling the vehicle a large amount of fuel overflows from the fuel receptacle 1-2 seconds after the pump cuts the flow of fuel. This happens every time the vehicle is filled and has occurred using in excess of 20 different fueling stations. Fuel spills down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. This creates a safety hazard.
Every time I fill up my gas tank it overflows all over the side of the jeep, ground, etc. I'm not talking a little drip. It gushes out. I have tried different gas stations. I have tried locking the lever in the slowest position thinking maybe I'm filling it too fast. I have tried positioning the nozzle further in and further out. Nothing seems to help.
Tl*the contact owns a 2008 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4. The contact stated whenever dispensing fuel close to the full level, the fuel would immediately spray out of the filler neck. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they stated that the failure was due to a faulty fuel pump nozzle. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000.
During the first week of september 2010, when refueling my 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited, when the gas station fuel pump /nozzle automatically shuts off, fuel began to overflow / backflow and spill out onto the side of the jeep and the ground. This continued to happen almost everytime I refueled. I began stopping the fuel nozzle manually when it sounded like the fuel was getting close to the nozzle. It would still overflow on occasion. Now I have to refill the jeep's gas tank judging by how low the gas gauge reads and how many gallons I put in. Usually I fill the gas tank a to little over three quarters of a tank. I do not feel comfortable filling up the gas tank until it is full or filling it until the pump automatically shuts off when it sense the tank is full because the amount of overflow varied, but in worst cases I estimated it was anywhere from 10 fluid ounces to 32 fluid ounces which really concerns me. There were times when the gas literally gushed out enough to splash onto the thigh area of my pant leg and shoes, while I was standing a good 18 inches from the jeep.
Just recently fuel backflows out of my gas tank after the pump shuts off. It happens even if I shut it off early and pay attention to how full the tank is.
Gas overflow problem when filling the tank. When the gas pump clicks off (when the tank is full), gas splashes out the fill tube.
Gas comes shooting out of the filler tube on my 2008 wrangler each time I fill up.
Fuel tank overflows a large amount of gas whenever I fill the tank. I estimate approximately 6 -10 ounces is spilled down the body and onto the ground every time I attempt to fill it up. Will overflow even when I fill it slowly. Started happening at approx 37,000 miles. Happens at all gas stations.
I just bought a used 2008 wrangler unlimited rubicon with 37,000 miles on 1/21/2011. The dealer offered a free tank of gas with a with the purchase so we went down to the local filling station and he proceeded to fill the jeep up . I was in the passenger seat at the time and inside the jeep the smell of gas was very pronounced. As he walked away to pay the for the gas I got out of the jeep and there was a 2ft puddle of gasoline behind the jeep. He and I got back in to the jeep and he complained that the pump did not shut off and had spilled gasoline on his clothes and shrugged it off. This morning 1/28/2011 I stop by to fill up the jeep and low and behold the pump clicked off when filling up the jeep and the all of the sudden the gasoline started to run out of the fuel tank filler neck and once again a 2ft puddle of gasoline, shoes and clothes with gas on them... Not a good start to the morning. So came to work and started to search the internet and there is a lot of talk of many of this style of jeep with the same problem. I am writing you to let you know that I think there is a safety concern with this vehicle and I am planning to take it back to the dealership to have them assess the problem but I think that you should look into this problem as well.
For approximately the last 5000 miles, when filling my 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited with gas, about one second after the pump automatically shuts off to indicate the tank is full of fuel, approximately 8-12 ounces of fuel is forcefully ejected out of the fill neck. This occurs at every fill up regardless of gas station brand.
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited. Sometimes when I use the automatic shutoff on the gas pump, it shuts off too late and ~0.25 gal. Of gasoline will spray out of the fill port and spill down the side of the vehicle. This does not happen at every pump, but frequently enough that I can no longer use the auto filling feature. It does not matter whether I set the "auto hold tab" or manually depress the pump handle. This is an ongoing problem and not a single-time event.
Jeep unlimited burps gas out when tank is full or almost full. Gas spillage occurs on jeep and ground and anything else in the area.
When filling up the gas tank, auto-shut-off of the gas dispenser occurs too late. Gas pours out over the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. This has happened numerous times in the past 3 months (at every fill up). To fix the problem, I stop the fill up before auto-shut-off. Jeep / chrysler says the gas tank must be replaced.
Nothing has lead to failure. Gas pours out the fill hole when the tank is almost full every time I try to fill the tank. It has happened for almost a year now. It is dangerous and causes gasoline to spill on the jeep, ground, and person filling the jeep.
When trying to fill fuel tank, the gas will overflow back out the opening. This happens no matter how far the nozzle is inserted. This can be much worse if the jeep is pointed slightly downhill versus level or slight uphill. Gasoline will fly out all over the side of the wrangler and can coat the person pumping fuel. It does not matter where I get the gas. This started at 35000 miles as has gotten worse.
2008 jeep jk unlimited x. Fuel rushes out of the gas tank filler neck every time I fill up. Dumps probably half a gallon on the ground and down the side of my vehicle.
When fuel tank is filled, as soon as the fuel pump nozzle "clicks" off (indicating the gas tank is full, several ounces of gasoline "spits" out. It spits out in a fashion to directly land on the shoes and/or pants leg of the person operating the fuel pump. This occurs on the first click (as opposed to those situations that occur when someone is "topping off" the gas tank). It occurs on every fuel tank fillup, except in those situations where the gas pump operates notably slower than most service stations. The amount of gasoline that ends up on the ground is typically at least 2 or more feet in diameter. The dealer has acknowledged that these fuel tanks do not vent properly and that caused the problem. Many you tube videos demonstrating the problem. Environmental - raw gasoline dispensed on the ground personal - raw gasoline on clothing/skin, with issues of strong gasoline odor in passenger compartment safety - potential disastrous issues if spark were to occur.
Gas spilling over when filling gas tank on a jeep wrangler 2008 4 door. I started in september of 2010. This seems to be a problem with all current gen when the reach the 2 year or 20,000 mile maker.
Fuel tank overflows while filling up with gasoline. Occurs each time I fill the tank up.
Every time I pump gas into my '08 jeep wrangler unlimited x gas splashes out. I do not "top off" the tank; the gas splashes out after the first click of the gas pump.
When filling fuel tank, fuel spills/gushes on vehicle and person filling if standing next to fuel nozzle when pump clicks off. This has happened multiple times at different gas stations. Spill/overflow ranges from about one quart to a half gallon of fuel and can cause vehicle/paint and environmental damage as well as injury to persons refueling vehicle and is also a fire hazard.
When fueling the vehicle, about a cupful of gas pours out the top after the pump clicks off. This happens at every station, on every fill up. This I believe presents a safety issue as gasoline is now on the outside of the vehicle and on the ground.
2008 jeep wrangler x unlimited at approx 30,000-32,000 miles I have started to have an issue when filling up with gas. The problem is when the tank gets full and the pump clicks off about a 1/2 gallon of gas sprays out of the vehicle and onto whoever is within a couple of feet. This problem started suddenly and has now continued for the last month every time I fill up regardless of where I choose to purchase my fuel. I've purchase gas in two different states and the problem exists no matter where I am at the time of the fill up.
The last three times I have filled my tank with gas it has spit a quart or so of gasoline back out all over the vehicle, ground and me. This occurred at three different gas stations at three different times of the day and after different driving patterns. About 1 second after the gas pump automatically shuts off, gas spits out from the fuel tank. I took it to the dealership and they said they have never heard of this before and that they could not duplicate the problem. This is not only an inconvenience, it is a definite safety hazard!
My 2008 jeep wrangler spills fuel every time I fill it up. Without warning just after the gas pump clicks off gas spills out onto the ground. The amount of gas spilled is about 4 oz. If you are close it spills on top the person pumping. A fire danger no doubt.
Fuel overflows from the fuel fill when filling up the fuel tank, every time I fill up.
Fuel overflow when filling up my 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited 4dr., when at or near full capacity at the gas pump. The gas overflows out onto the side of the jeep and onto the fender and ground, nearly splashing onto me as I am standing at the fuel filler cap area at the jeep. This has happened twice in the past two months, november and december 2010 while filling up my 2008 jeep with gasoline to full level.
My jeep shoots gas out when it is full every time I fill it up. This problem has started as the jeep reached about 20,000 miles. Dealership cannot find a problem.
