When fueling vehicle, the tank appears to overflow and gas pours out when pump automatically shuts off. Approx 1 to 2 cups of fuel leaks out and onto the side of the vehicle and on the ground. This problem started after 30000 miles and happened occasionally in the beginning but now happens at every fill up.

2008 jeep wrangler jk - gas overflow (this issue is the same as that reported in investigation pe10032) when filling up with fuel at the service station, gas overflows and sprays all over the side of the vehicle, the ground, and the person operating the pump. This is a very hazardous scenario and could result in a fire, explosion, injury, or death. This should be considered a recall on the vehicle in question. 1. No events have LED up to the failure. 2. This occurs every time when fueling the vehicle. 3. The service department at the jeep dealership says the only way to remedy the failure is to completely replace the entire gas tank assembly.
2008 jeep wrangler unlimited fuel spills out of filler opening as/before the gas pump auto shut off stops the fuel flow. Although id doesn't happen at every fill up it is a regular occurrence since I've owned the vehicle.
When fueling, the pump clicks off but fuel will splash up on me and all down the side of the vehicle. This is extremely dangerous and undesirable. Last thing I need is stray static electricity in the winter setting me on fire!
2008 jeep wrangler unlimited having fuel spew from filler pipe when filling tank. This occurs just as tank is full and fuel pump automatically stops. The amount of fuel spilled is about 500 cc and comes out as a bubbly mixture. The fuel spills on the vehicle and on to the ground. It will get on the person filling if standing close. The problems started at about 37k miles and is now occurring with nearly every fill-up. There is no warning that this is going to happen that would allow one to stop the pump before the overflow occurs.
2008 jeep wrangler x unlimited......gas spills or "burps" out of the fill almost everytime no matter what gas station or gas pump I use. Vehicle was purchased used, I talked to dealer and they told me I needed to replace the gas tank and wasn't a warranty issue. This continues to happen and gas is splashed out on vehicle, ground and on my person. This is dangerous there could be a fire.
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited with approximately 45000 miles on it. Over the last 6 months or so I have been having an issue when I fill my gas tank, where the pump will not shut off and the tank will overflow, spewing gasoline out and onto the ground. This occurs approximately 3 out of 5 times or more, and at different locations. I feel this is a hazard and safety issue. I have checked several jeep forums, and it appears that this is a problem with the 2008 jeep wranglers, possibly involving the fill line or vent tube. Some forum members have stated that chrysler has replaced both aforementioned items, or the entire tank assembly. Can your agency please look in to this as a possible recall situation. Thank you!
Gas overflows from filler cap while refueling. The last 2 times I have refueled, the pumps have failed to autostop and gasoline has overflowed out of the fillercap. This has happened at 2 separate gas stations which leads me to believe it is an issue related to the design of the jeeps gas filler cap/tube.
Fuel over flow, when filling gas tank ...all the time.
Every time I fill up my gas tank in my 2008 jeep wrangler, regardless of what gas station I use, gas will overflow. It doesn't just overrun, it shoots out the filler neck. This is obviously a very dangerous situation. I'm concerned that, if this isn't addressed, it will result in an uncontrolled fire.
Please see pe10032. Same issue. 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. The spilled fuel can splash on me when fueling thevehicle, or on the side of the vehicle and the ground.
I am the owner of a 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited. For the last 6 or more months now, the jeep is having a fuel filling issue. When filling the gas tank of the jeep, you can never do it without the gasoline gushing out at the end. Regardless if you pump it manually or automatically, it does it. This is a very dangerous situation in addition to cause hazmat spill (gasoline). At first I thought it was that specific gas pump and/or gas station. This is not the case as it happens anywhere and everywhere. I decided to investigate the issue by doing search on the internet and found out that it is a very common issue that it is well known by all parties and still, nothing has been done to resolve it. The quality party is the roll over check valve which adds a another safety issue to it. This valve is built in into the tank and thus, the whole tank must be replace and the issue will still be back in most cases. Jeep needs to re-design the valve to fix the problem rather than just postpone it by changing the gas tank.
Gas overflows out of gas tank every time tank is filled up.
Fuel overflows when filling tank. Happens every fill up. The pump keeps pumping and gas pours out the top. It occurs at every gas station in town.
Fuel (1/2 gal) sprays out after refueling. Fuel sprays up to 3 feet. Gas goes all over person (got in my eyes!!!) pumping fuel, all over jeep and ground. Just started doing this.
My gas tank keeps overflowing when I fill it up. Tonight it actually spilt all over my jeans and shoes.
Fuel spilled out of my jeep after the pump cut off.
Fuel still overflowing during refueling... It's been going on for about a year, the gasoline spilling is destroying the paint finish and wheel flare of the jeep. In direct response to jeeps claim, my jeep has always been refueled by myself. I never put in fuel that was greater than 10% ethanol, and I do not overfill the tank. This tank is a defect and I haven't bothered going back to the dealer because it is not covered under warranty. If it was I would make an appt right away. All that gas spilling on the ground can't be a good thing for the environment and my skin when it splashes all over me... I guess I need to catch on fire before jeep will say they have a problem. It's no wonder their customer satisfaction ratings are the lowest in the industry. My initial complaint was about a year ago.. I guess I should make a bumper sticker.. "jeep: spitting gas since 2009".
Overspill on gas tank while refueling .
When refueling, gas overflows moments after the pump automatically stops filling the tank.
2008 jeep fuel overflow when refueling. Fuel comes back out of the hole and goes everywhere. It is an extreme fire hazard and safety hazard.
During refilling, fuel flows and splashes out of the filler port. This occurs during the point the tank becomes full and the nozzle turns off. It did not seem to occur during the beginning of ownership, but now happens every time. Attempts to position the nozzle in various ways and slowing the fuel flow has not had any effect on mitigating the problem.
Fuel tank overflows when filling up causing gas to splash out on the vehicle, ground and sometimes the person filling the vehicle. It happens at every fill up.
When fueling my jeep, the auto stop does not engage on the gas pump and it causes it to overflow. This has happened 3 times. Now I do not rely on the auto stop and judge it myself.
When filling up gas tank at station gas spills from socket and spills on ground.
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara. In the past 30 days it has started to flow fuel out of the filler each and every time I fill the gas tank, regardless of the station or pump. It literally gushes out as the fuel pump stops. This is an incredible safety hazard. I'm told by the dealer that there is a flaw with the overflow vent filter and as this component is integral to the tank, that the entire tank must be replaced. With all the exact issues on the federal safety agency website, it's unbelievable that there has not been a recall. I'm also now concerned about the so-called "death wobble" issue that I've now read about on the site.
When fueling up my 2008 jeep wrangler 4 door, when it gets to the 'full' point the cut-off point to stop the fuel from flowing into the tank does not respond. So, when fueling up the wrangler it stops fueling and gas pours out everywhere splashing me, getting fuel on my jeep (which isn't good for the paint) and getting fuel on the ground which could cause harm or a fire. This has happened frequently for the past year or so I have owned the jeep. I've gotten to the point where I cannot completely fuel my jeep up because I'm afraid it will overflow.
We have a 2008 jeep wrangler x. When the fuel tank is filled to full or nearly full and the gas pump automatically shuts or clicks off fuel suddenly splashes out. It comes out with such force that it will splash the person fueling the jeep; it will run down the side of it and leave a puddle of fuel on the ground. Our fear is if someone were to toss a cigarette or discard a match after this happened that the fuel could ignite or explode. It is the vehicle that has the problem, not the fuel station pump as this has now occurred at different filling stations.

While filling up my 2008 jeep wrangler sahara unlimited with gas,the pump clicks off and about 1 second later the gas seems to overfill and spit back out of the fuel fill neck. This occurs at different pumps with no apparent consistent factors. When the tank gets full and the pump clicks off and quite a bit of gas spits back out of the neck onto me, the vehicle and the ground. It happens every time I try to completely fill the tank. Now I have adapted my fill up strategy and fill only to what I think is near full and not let it click.
