Gas exits my gas tank with force behind it after every fill up.
My 2005 jeep wrangler rubicon overflows and spills when filling the gas tank. Not just sometimes, every single time.
Gas spits out of filler neck because the pump wont cut off.
During refueling of the vehicle, when the tank gets full it will shoot gas out all over the place. Many times it has not only splashed on the ground around the jeep, but also on me.
Gas sprays out when filling jeep.
When filling the car with fuel at various gas stations over the last 3 months the fuel pump does not shut off. This causes gasoline to spill out over the filler neck. The spill is strong enough where it spews back a few inches towards the person standing next to the tank.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that when refueling the vehicle, the fuel would spew from the tank onto the side of the vehicle and onto the contact. The failure recurred whenever the vehicle was refueled. The vehicle was not inspected or repaired and the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The current mileage was 52,512 and the failure mileage was approximately 51,000.
Fuel does not shut off when filling tank. Happens all the time. Gas spewed onto my shoes and clothing! 87 octane is not the scent I choose to be wearing! Is there is a recall that I have not been notified about????
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. When attempting to add fuel to the vehicle, the contact noticed that it would spill out onto his clothing similar to the federal safety agency campaign id number: 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap). The dealer advised the contact to replace the fuel tank. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was approximately 24,000 and the failure mileage was 22,500.
When refueling 2005 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited gas spills out at completion of fill up. This happens every time vehicle is refueled and gas then runs down side of vehicle.
My 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited (24,000 miles) started spitting a small amount of gasoline from the filler tube about a year ago. It would spit out about a second after the nozzle shut off. Like many others that are experiencing this problem, I blamed the stations equipment. I tried other stations & other techniques like filling slower & trying to anticipate when the tank would be full & filling as slowly as the nozzle would allow. Nothing seemed to prevent the spit back. I recently became aware of the workings of the vapor control properties of my jeep. That LED me to an internet forum & to the fact others are having the same problem. I also saw that the federal safety agency has investigated this problem on 2007 & 2008 wranglers & that has LED to chrysler voluntarily extending the warranty on those gas tanks. However, in their final report the federal safety agency (pe10-032) seemed critical of the number of complaints because of internet exposure. If this exposure leads to identifying more people with legitimate complaints, how is this a bad thing? These assertions may be easily verified by a trip to a filling station. Part of chryslers response was based on warranty claims, it is logical that the older & out of warranty vehicles would not be considered in their evaluation. I believe that extending the warranty rather than a recall is a good way of handling this (replacing only the tanks with problems) & I applaud chrysler for this. I hope you will encourage chrysler to add the 2004-2006 wranglers to the extended gas tank warranty program as we are experiencing the exact same issue as the 07 & 08s are. The fair alternative would be a safety recall. The identified failure seems to be a check valve in the gas tank.
When filling up my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon gas sprays everywhere. It will spray either all over my car or spit out at least 3-4 feet and hit the car next to me. This happens everytime I fill the gas tank to full.
When filling the fuel tank, the auto shut-off does not engage. This is a hazard because fuel spills over and out onto the vehicle and surrounding pavement.
Every time I fill my gas tank it overflows all over the outside of the vehicle. The automatic shut off on the gas pumps does not do anything. The gas pump will shut off automatically and still over flow. Sick and tired of constantly cleaning gas off the outside of my car.
Fuel overflows every fillup.
When I fill up my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited it spits gas all over, alot of it. This is a safety hazard! Its horrible for the environment too. Jeep wont recall the problem. They are ignoring the problem. Help us out, please. Thx
Sprays gas out the filler neck when the tank gets full and the auto shut off on the gas nozzle activates. This happens every time I fill it up. This problem started a long time ago so I just estimated it started at 40,000 miles. I now have 70,000 miles on the vehicle.
Fuel spilling during fill up.
2005 jeep wrangler rubicon. Every time gas is filled up, pump clicks off but gas will overflow from fill line.
When filling gas tank, gas flies out of the opening and down onto the ground when the pump kicks off.
Every time I fill my vehicle with gasoline, it sprays gasoline out of the filler hole after the gasoline pump shuts off.
Overflow of gas tank at every fill up.
I own a 2005 jeep wrangler. I purchased the jeep new. For about 8-12 months now when I am pumping my gas the gas overflows instead of shutting off when the tank is full. I have to try to guess when the tank is almost full and stop pumping so the gas does not spill out all over me. I have had it pour all over my legs and shoes.
Gas spews back out at me when I try to fill my 2005 jeep wrangler (all over me and the ground).
2005 jeep tj while filling does not click the pump off and therefore leaks and spills out all over the road causing an epa nightmare. Happens all the time when filling up. There is a known problem with jeeps doing this but the government pays no attention. Maybe the epa is too busy worrying about something else other than fuel spillage and seepage into water supplies...?
Fuel splashes back after the tank fills and the pump shuts off.
Fuel tank belches gasoline out before auto shut off occurs, spraying gas outward on vehicle and operator.
When filling up the vehicle's fuel tank, an air pocket is trapped at the top of the tank. When the tank becomes full, this air pocket rushes towards the neck and out towards the person filling up the vehicle. Each time this occurs, fuel spews onto the side of the vehicle and sometimes sprays outward onto the pump handle and me. This is dangerous not only for the environment, but for me filling up the vehicle because it has the potential to get into my eyes/face when the fuel and air bubble rush out. I took the vehicle in to the local jeep dealership and another reputable mechanic, and both said they could put a new tank on, but that may not fix the problem because the tanks on the wranglers have a manufacturing defect that causes this problem. All sensors and vents on my tank are working properly. When the fuel tank becomes full, the pump is shut off as it is supposed to, but about half a second afterwards is when the air and fuel spew out. I am not letting the vehicle run while filling up, nor am I trying to top the tank off. This is a defect in the fuel tank of this vehicle and this problem needs to be addressed by jeep. I just purchased the vehicle, and this happens whenever I fill up. I do not know if this happened to the previous owners or not, there are multiple forums on the internet that state that there are a large number of wrangler owners that are having this problem.
Every time I fill the gas tank of my jeep fuel spits back. The dealer said it was normal, I do not believe this should happen. I recently read on line about many jeeps doing the same thing. This has been happening for about one year. I purchased the vehicle new. It has never been in an accident, and is well maintained.
