I get a fuel overflow when filling up. This has happened 4 out of the last 6 times I have filled up. I see this is a common complaint regarding this vehicle. The overflow spills a lot of gas on the side of the vehicle and the floor.

I have a 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited and every time I fuel up, the gas overflows down the side of the jeep. It does not matter what speed I am filling it, the nozzle clicks to note that the tank is full and then gas comes pouring out. This just started happening about 6 months ago and it happens every time I fill up now, regardless of the station that I fill up at.
My 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited will not automatically shut off the gas pump nozzle when I am filling it up. Often, gas will come up the fill tube and out onto my jeep, the pump handle, the ground - and usually- my hands. It doesn't matter if I am filling it up and at a fast or slow pace, gas will still come up the fill tube. The gas either cascades out or shoots out (depending on the speed the pump is going.) this has been an ongoing problem for more than a year, despite the recent incident date I entered below.
When putting gas in the tank as the tank gets near full gas backs up and spits out of fill neck. Sometimes about a half gallon on the jeep and ground. Has been doing this about a year now. Last time is the date below on the form.
My 2008 4dr jeep wrangler spills fuel almost every time I fill it up. I have tried filling slowly and carefully positioning the pump nozzle with no change. I have read many jeep forums and it appears this is a common problem. My concern is that this could become a fire hazard at the pump.

When filling my vehicle tank with gasoline, a lot of gasoline spills out. I have a 2008 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited. At almost every fillup, the auto-shut-off feature does not work and gasoline spews out everywhere. This is a issue with chrysler/jeep, not the fuel station. You will find multiple complaints about this with the federal safety agency. This occurs 90% of the time. I have attempted to clean-out and check all fuel hoses and vent tubes on the jeep. I have not found a solution to the problem. This is a serious problem. A lot of gasoline spewed out. Many people could have easily been killed.

At some point my newly purchased 2008 4 dr wrangler rubicon began spewing gas from the fill tube when the tank is full at the fuel station. Any station. We are still fully covered by our warranty but the dealer is trying to blame it on a small dent in my skid plate even though the tank is not damaged. I have seen multiple similar accounts of this same problem all over the internet including this website.
Stopped at gas station to fill up tank. Held down the handle until the tank was full and the pump is supposed to cut off. It worked correctly. However, immediately after it cut off, gas spewed back up out of the gas tank. It was enough to spill out onto the side of the vehicle and the ground below. I would estimate the amount that spilled out was about a 1/4 of a gallon. I bought the vehicle used in july with about 35,000 miles. The first few refills did not do this. It has happened on approx. The last three refills in a row at three different gas stations. Do not have a cause or solution. There are several others with the same vehicle with the same problem starting to occur. See http://www.jk-forum.com/showthread.php?t=67585.
2008 jeep wrangler unlimited ejects fuel from the filler neck at every fill up. When filling the gas tank some sort of back pressure is being created,when the tank is full and the pump clicks off, it is too late 4 to 8 ounces of fuel is ejected from the filler neck on the ground, vehicle and in some cased the person fueling the vehicle. I see from searching the web that this is happening to many jeep owners, here is a video I located on you tube , this is one of many posted online http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6w487onkso. I feel this is a real safety concern and is something that jeep should be repairing on a recall basis.
