Fuel spilling over before pump shuts off when filling up.
When filling up the fuel tank on my 2005 jeep wrangler it will not shut off. It sprays gas all over. This is unsafe. Its a fire hazard. It spills gas into the environment. Its costs me money(gas ain't cheap). It is gonna ruin the paint around the filler neck. Jeep refuses to fix the problem under recall. It is happening on many years and models of jeeps. This is far from an isolated incident. The problem is related to the rollover vent valve. Gasoline is serious stuff. It should be treated as such. It happens almost every time I fill up my tank. Jeep wants to charge their customers to replace the whole fuel system. I cant pay that bill, it is way too costly.
2005 jeep wrangler unlimited has developed a faulty rollover valve in the gas tank causing fuel spills when refueling. Chrysler denies warranty claims stating this is normal wear. However, this is an extreme safety hazard - fumes and potential for fires and explosion as well as harmful to the environment.
My gas tank over flows and gasoline gushes out every time I fill my gas tank at every gas station. The gasoline pump auto shut off valve does not activate until gasoline gushes out past the gas tank filler neck and into the plastic gas fill area. From there the gasoline continues to leak onto the painted body of my jeep. Notably, trying to insert the gasoline pump into all conceivable depths into the gasoline fuel filler neck has no effect on the gasoline gushing issue. This problem didn't start until my jeep hit about 40,000 miles on the odometer (I am the 1st owner). This leads me to believe something within the fuel filling system or possibly evap system is corroded, plugged up, or otherwise fouled as there is no exterior damage. This could create multiple dangerous situations both at the gas station and on the road.
I own a 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon. Nearly every time I fill up at a gas station the gas nozzle does not click off when the tank is near full and gas runs down over the side of the car, the fender and onto the ground (and sometimes onto clothes/shoes). I have owned the jeep for almost a year now (I am the second owner) and it has done this ever since I purchased it.
When filling up the gas tank, the tank seems to have a venting or pressure problem. When the tank is being filled, gasoline shoots out of the tank violently as it approaches full.
When I fill my 2005 wrangler with fuel when it nears 15 gallons it spits fuel down the side of the vehicle and the ground.
Every time I fill up at the gas station fuel gushes out everywhere after the pump shuts off automatically.
The fuel tank fill with overflow gasoline during fill up. This happens with every fill up since 2006. The jeep was purchased in 2005. This seems like a common problem with jeep wranglers.
While filling the fuel tank fuel gushes out of the filler neck instead of the nozzle shutting off. Fuel spills all over the side of the vehicle and on the ground.
Fuel overflows when filling at the pump. I have a 19 gallon tank and at around 15 gallons the handle releases and gas spews all over the place. Talked to manassas va jeep and they said there was nothing they could do.
Fuel overflows and spills every time the vehicle is refueled. Problem has been identified as a bad check valve in the gas tank which requires the gas tank to be replaced. Same tank and just a matter of time until it recurs. This is a safety hazard and an environmental concern as approximately 1 cup of fuel is spilled on the operator.
Each time I put fuel in my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited fuel splashes out covering the filler cap, the side of the vehicle, and whatever is nearby. I do not "top off" the tank. It does it on the first shutoff click of the nozzle.
Gas overflow.
Gasoline pours out every single time I fully fill it up. It happens on every wrangler since 2003.
When fueling my 2005 jeep wrangler , and allowing the fuel pump to automatically turn off when the gas tank reaches the full level, fuel will often overflow out of the fill port. My jeep dealer says that the fix is to replace the gas tank and that they are aware of this problem, cost for new gas tank $800.00.
When fuel tank is nearing the "full" level the fuel tank spews out excess fuel when filling tank spraying me if I am standing anywhere near the vehicle.. This happens on every fill up. I understand this is a well documented problem with jeep vehicles.
1- every time I fill up my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited it overfills. 2- it happens all the time! Every time I fill up. It overfills. To the point where I just stop it when it reaches 18 gallons. 3- my jeep is out of warranty, my dealer will not correct the problem with out me paying for mistake done by chrysler. I really question my safety. And the safety of my vehicle.
Everytime I fill up my jeep with gas, no matter at which station, the tank overflows. The auto shut off is not running and this has LED to gas spilling all over the side of my jeep and discoloring the wheel cover.,
2005 jeep wrangler has fuel spillover about 9 out of 10 times I fill up the gas tank whether or not I "hand pump" the fuel. There have been no modifications made to this vehicle. This problem has been occurring since november 2009. Fuel spills down the side of the vehicle, sometimes on me (oh, and I'm pregnant), and on the ground. Various approaches to filling the tank have been made, but nothing seems to alleviate the problem.
2005 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon fuel tank overflows 80% of the time I fill up. Once, it kept running without stopping and spilling 5-10 gallons. This caused me to slip in the gas resulting in whiplash which I am still having to address 2 months later. This is a major fire hazard, safety hazard, environmental concern and monetary problem and jeep/chrysler needs to own up to the problem and issue a recall. If not, the government needs to force the issue.
I drive a 2005 jeep wrangler sport with a 4.0 liter engine, every time I fill up, the gas tank shoots gas out of the tank, spilling it onto the ground.
My 2005 jeep wrangler always overflows when I fill it up. The fuel fills the filler neck and overflows. *tr updated 12/07/11
Every time I fill my jeep with gasoline, at the end of filling the tank, gas will come up out of the tank, through the gas hole and spill on the floor. This could cause a potential fire.
Every time I attempt to fill my 2005 jeep wrangler's tank to full, gas spills out of the fuel tube after the pump shuts off automatically. This is at least 8oz of fuel easily gushing out and is a fire hazard. I am the second owner, and have only owned it since 7/31/10. I have filled the tank 4 times and all 4 times this has occurred. A google search revealed a wrangler forum where countless jeep owners are experiencing the same issue, chrysler will not issue a recall even though they have paid for numerous gas tanks to be replaced. I have not called chrysler yet, because I already know the runaround I will encounter based on other's experience, and am waiting until I have some time off next week to devote to this frustrating phone call.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. While the contact added fuel to the gasoline tank he noticed that it spilled back out. The vehicle will be taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer will be notified. The failure mileage was 66,000 and the current mileage was 67,493.
At the 65k mile mark everytime I fill up the gas will overflow and spill out of the filler tube. From the research I have done there are alot of tj owners that this is happening to. It is a safety problem because if I have the top off my 3 year old son sides right above the fuel filler tube and gas could splash onto him.
2005 jeep wrangler, fuel overfills every time I go to the pump. When the fuel pump auto stops about a quart of fuel shoots out of the vehicle filler tube. The fuel has splashed all over the vehicle, and my clothes. This occurs on the first auto shut-off and is not due to topping-off the tank. This is a common problem on the jeep wrangler and is well documented on the internet.
I own a 2005 jeep wrangler rubicon. It is unmodified. It will consistently overflow at the gas pump if I fill the tank. Therefore, I must monitor the pump closely and stop short of filling the tank to avoid this problem. Something is not working correctly.
