When fueling, pump will not automatically shut off when gas tank is full. This spills gas on the vehicle, owner, and ground.
2005 Jeep Wrangler fuel system complaints
Page 11 of 16: complaints 281 to 310 of 448, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When filling up at any gas station, the gas tank overflows about 90% of the time. Gas runs down the quarter panel and on the fender flare. It will splash on me if I am standing next to the pump.
2005 jeep wrangler unlimited overflows fuel every time at the pump. Does not matter if I hold it, or if it is on automatic hold. Always overflows. Sometimes sprays out of the holes on the vapor lock. Dealer wants to charge me $1200 to replace fuel tank. Chrysler tsb on 2007-08, but not other years. Please investigate the totality of this problem.
Every time I attempt to fill the gas tank on my 2005 jeep wrangler x fuel overflows at the point at which it should automatically shut off. On some occasions its a small amount, other times, its sprays out forcefully and gets all over me, my jeep, the ground, and anything else in the immediate area. It does not matter which gas station I fill up at, it happens everywhere. My only solution is to attempt to calculate how much I can put in manually without totally filling it up. Lots of guesswork involved, sometimes unsuccessfully. I see spraying a flammable liquid around in an unintended manner as a safety hazard. So far, jeep does not see it the same way....
My 2005 jeep wrangler lj overflows when filling up with gas. Everytime the pump will shut off and then gas will come back out of the fill opening.
Fuel sprays out of gas filler neck when adding fuel to vehicle.
Since purchasing the 2005 jeep rubicon from bengal motors, kingston ny a official chrysler, jeep dealer it has sprayed out gas from the filler every time you fill it up. No matter how easy you squeeze the handle it will spray out every time. This is an extremely dangerous defect in this vehicle. My hand keeps getting gas all over it and the gas burns my skin.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that when attempting to refuel the vehicle, the fuel would spew back out onto the ground. The dealer made two attempts to duplicate the failure but to no avail. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who performed a diagnostic test and concluded that the fuel tank would need to be replaced. The parts needed were not readily available and the contact was awaiting the arrival of the parts for repairs. The current mileage was 25,309 and the failure mileage was unknown.

Gasoline spits out of tank while filling with fuel. This occurs every time I refuel. This is a health risk as well as an environmental risk that needs to be addressed.
I am an owner of a 2006 jeep wrangler, and my tank overflows everytime I fill up the jeep. Even though the fuel pump clicks off when full, fuel will splash out of the fill nozzle and onto the ground. It also leaks on the vehicle.
I am experiencing a continuing, dangerous and worsening spraying of gasoline when I fill the tank of my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited. I have video evidence of this problem, and has been occurring since the vehicle had approximately 40,000 miles on it. I just learned this safety issue is well known within the jeep community.
Jeep wrangler unlimited 2005 fuel splash. When filling tank and pump shuts off fuel splashes out.
Approximately 1 year ago my 2005 jeep wrangler began overflowing from the fuel inlet during refueling. If I am not careful during refueling fuel will spit out from around the nozzle and spill down the vehicle. I have been doused with fuel on my legs and feet. The fuel tank automatic cut off does not appear to be functioning properly.
I purchased a used 2005 jeep wrangler with 17,000 miles. When I filled the tank, gas would gush out of the filler and splash all over the side of the vehicle. I had the vehicle repaired under warranty (new fuel tank), which did correct the problem. Now, at just over 51,000 miles, the problem has returned. Every time I fill the vehicle, this dangerous fuel spill occurs. I live in a very dry (low humidity) climate, and it is very common to get static discharge when touching any conductive surface. I am fearful that I am going to experience a vehicle fire if this situation continues. I can not understand how this problem has not caused a recall to correct the defect.
Fuel overflowing from fill ups
When filling my fuel tank, gas comes out/backs up and spills down side of vehicle or splashes to the ground. I want to be clear that I am not topping off. This happens every time I fill up regardless of the station.
My 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited has an overfilling problem every single time I fill up at the gas station. It doesn't matter if I use the lowest setting on the gas pump or if I manually use as little pressure as possible, it overfills every single time and gas pours out of the fill spout running down the body of the vehicle, on my hand, on my clothes and on the ground. This is an extremely dangerous problem and affects the 2003-2006 jeep wrangler series.
Fuel overflow on 2005 jeep wrangler. I have done lots of research on this and it seems that the only solution is to replace the gas tank. It has happened to many people with similar model jeeps.
When filling up the vehicle with gasoline, when the pump cuts off gasoline spurts out all over the side of the vehicle and the ground and sometimes over the person filling the tank. This happens whether the nozzle is being held and squeezed by the person filling or is locked in position for handsfree filling. It has happened consistently with fillups for the past 4-5 months no matter which gas station is used.
During fueling, when the fuel pump nozzle automatically stops the flow of gasoline , fuel surges back through the filler tube and vigorously splashes out on the side of the vehicle and anything or person within 2 to 3 feet of the fuel filler. This occurs every time the fuel tank is filled. It has spilled fuel on every fill up (at least one cup), despite precautions (slowing filling rate). Manufacturer and dealer have done nothing to correct this problem, this happens every time I fill up.
Everytime I fill up my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon with fuel, gas shoots out the filler tube instead of shutting off when the tank is full.
At around the 50k mileage mark, fuel would gush out when filling up the tank. Tried different gas stations, old and brand new pumps, all resulted in gas gushing out as the pump turned off. Chrysler-jeep service replaced the fuel filler tube. Topped off the gas tank after the "fix", seemed good. Let the tank go down to less than 1/4 then filled the tank and the gas gushed out yet again! This is both a safety and environment issue. Please request jeep to find a real fix for this and issue a recall.
When I fill my jeep up with fuel it always overflows with fuel spewing on me the ground and my vehicle. Nothing seems to change it not slowing down the pump or anything. My research brings me to it being a failure with the rollover/checkvalve at the bottom of the filler tube failing to close allowing fuel to overflow. Here are some examples of other people with the same problem http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/gas-spilling-over-when-filling-872096/ I have two more friends with jeeps with the same problem. Nothing was done to fix the issue it isn't covered under warranty. Was going to enter my VIN but the VIN entry doesn't work. So no VIN.
My "new" used 2005 jeep tj will spill gas all over the place when filling up gas. It doesn't matter if I do it manually or let it fill up with the auto switch on. Even when I "hear" the gas near the top of the tank it still spits gas out of the tank and onto my hands, the side of the jeep and on the ground. What a pain in the [xxx].

While filling gas tank in san diego at the same location I had filled up at many times the fuel pump kicked off and in less than a second later gas came squirting out of the vent holes with enough force to spray gas 3 - 4 feet away from the car. I initially thought it may be a problem with the pump but over the last 10 month this has occurred at many different gas stations. I have also tried filling at the lowest speed of the pump but it will still spray out. It stopped for a month or so but has started up again over this last month. This is very dangerous when it comes out with enough force to get into someone's eyes or possibly cause a fire. The first time this happened my shirt and pants were sprayed with gas.
2005 jeep wrangler x, fuel overfills every time I fill up. The tank does not allow the pump to shut off automatically. Happens at every different gas station and with every tank. Not an isolated incident.
Every time I fill the gas tank on my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon it overflows out of the fill location. Sometimes the splashing is very powerful other times it is just a medium splash. The only way to not have this happen is to anticipate when the tank should be full and stop.
2005 jeep wrangler ejects gasoline at every fill-up. After the pump clicks the vehicle filler neck shoots out a considerable amount of fuel (aprox 1cup +). On a windy day about a month ago, the fuel came out with enough force to go all over the vehicle, me, and onto my face. The problem is consistent and causes a substantial amount of fuel to spill out at every fill-up.
2005 jeep tj and a 2005 jeep lj gas tank overflows when filled at pump.
Gas tank overflow: I bough the jeep over 1 year ago. 3 out of 4 times I fill up the tank, the gasoline overflows out the tank and sprays me or the ground. It happened this morning too.
