My 2005 jeep wrangler sport has a fuel tank overflow issue. When filling the tank up it inevitably overflows regardless of what station, existing fuel level or type of filler nozzle. It is also my understanding that this issue is rather widespread. I initially believed that something had simply broken, but after a bit of research I am not alone. Please look into this.

My gas tank overflows after the machine clicks off. This happens every time in my 2005 jeep wrangler with 28k miles on it.
On 4/5/2010 I purchased a used 2005 jeep wrangler. I drove it from il to pa. During that drive I needed to get gas 3 times. Each time I filled the gas the tank overfilled and fuel was spilled. I went online today to check on this issue and found many others seem to be having the same problem.
My 2005 jeep wrangler will have gas( fuel ) spillage when filling tank. Fuel nozzle will discharge fuel onto ground and side of vehicle at the end of fueling. This happens every time. This happens if nozzle shuts off by it's self or if I am filling .
When filling gas tank, gas sprays out with force when tank is full before gas pump shuts off.
Fuel spill out of jeep when fueling. Fuel splashes out about 1 pint. On jeep, person and ground. Clean-up was needed.
2005 jeep wrangler. Gas tank overflows every time it is filled up. Gas comes gushing out as pump stops.
Fuel spill when filling fuel tank. Happens every time. Shutoff does not work
2005 jeep wrangler lj/tj rubicon unlimited when filling up with gasoline the tank overflows out of the vehicle spraying onto the operartor of the gas pump and flooding the immediate area and on the ground. This is very dangerous and the operator of the pump is covered in gas and fumes this could cause a fire and damage to the skin and eyes; in worse case scenario an explosion if a cell phone is in ones pocket or nearby. Please recall these vehicles immediately; it happens to almost every jeep wrangler and eventually will effect all. This is not from topping off or using a high pressure gas nozzle or one gas station. This happens no matter where I am and if I don't time if correctly gasoline will be all over the place. Although not serious, at one time gasoline did spray enough on a windy day to hit me in the eye causing a burning sensation and redness obviously I could not operate the vehicle for about 10 minutes. If a young child is near by this would be a serious issue.
Everytime the gas tank is filled up, fuel comes launching out from around the pump handle spraying anyone standing within a couple of feet of the pump. This occurs every time the tank is filled, at every gas station. Jeep has suggested a replacement tank, but with no assurances that it will solve the problem. The results of a online search indicates a replacement tank will not solve the problem.
1. Filling the gas tank in my 2005 jeep wrangler, if I allow the pump to actually fill it up (until you hear the "click" sound) just before the click gas sprays out of the filler nozzle (at least a couple cups worth). 2. This happens every single time I let the pump fill my tank until full. I very quickly learned that I'd have to just estimate how much gas I needed, round down, and not fill up all the way (manually). 3. I took it to the jeep dealer, and they said they didn't find anything wrong with my fuel filler or tank, despite this being a widely documented issue on www.jeepforum.com. On a later page it kept saying it was invalid, even though I know this is correct.
05 jeep wrangler, fuel overflows while filling tank causing fuel spill on ground and anything/anyone in the way. Happens every time I fill the tank.
Gas splashes out of my 2005 jeep yj when filling at any gas pump. The gas pump stops the flow of gas, but about one cup of gas splashes out every time I fill-up.
Fuel spill while refilling. The pump did not shut off while filling with gas. Happens everytime I fill up all the way.
When fueling, gas shoots out of filler tube due to defective check valve. This is both a fire hazard and an environmental concern, not to mention the fact that the person filling the tank gets gas all over them.
Every time I put gas in my 2005 jeep wrangler it overflows, and spills gas all over the jeep, and the ground.
Everything I fill my 05 jeep wrangler the gas spews out when the nozzle cuts off. This is something that started a few months ago. Before then was normal when filled. I talked to the jeep dealer and was informed that there was no recall or anything that can be done.
2005 jeep wrangler - gasoline overflows from filler neck while gas is pumped everytime tank is filled completely. Waste of gas and potential fire hazard.
Gas tank overflows at the pump, not the first time - has happened many, many times since I purchased the jeep. Probably 7 out of ten times.
There is a problem with my fuel tank, every time I fill up, regardless of the gas station I go to, fuel overflows from my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited onto the pavement. I have tried over 30 different gas stations in 3 different states. I have heard this same complaint from many other jeep and chrysler product owners. The constant exposure to fuel is damaging the paint on my fender and I can only imagine it is not good for the pavement. Also, I have to worry about fire every time I fill up.
I bought the jeep as a certified pre-owned chrysler. I've only owned the jeep for a month and noticed gas pumps do not shut off when filling the tank. I've tried multiple pumps, at different gas stations. It happens about 90% of the time. The local dealership said it's not something covered under warranty. Seems like a major safety hazard.
At the end of the pumping of gas, it spews out the fuel line and all over my jeep and the ground. This seems like a safety and ecological issue. I have tried everything from pumping fast to slow, nozzle right side up to upside down, all the way in and half way out. Nothing stops the problem.
2005 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited every time I fill up my tank, the nozzle does not turn off and about a quarter of a gallon of fuel spills out.
I have a 2005 jeep tj rubicon, and everytime I fill my gas tank it over flows spilling gas on the jeep and ground. Took it to the dealer and they said it was a gas tank issue and needs to be replaced and it is not covered under the warranty.
1) when filling gas tank with nozzle correctly inserted into fuel tank filler, the gas will overflow out of tank before nozzle shuts off. Gasoline then spills all over the vehicle and on the tarmac. Creating a fire hazard. 2) this occurs 90% of the time I gas up. Every time it leaves a puddle of gas at the station and my vehicle is covered with gas as well. 3) so far I have not performed any service to correct failure.
When refueling, fuel will overflow from the filler neck before the pump will stop. Once the fuel comes out, the pump will then stop. This has happened regularly at different gas stations and results in approximately 0.25 gallon of fuel on the vehicle and ground.
Gas tank overflow: the gas tank will spurt gas out automatically when it is full rather than having the pump click to inform you that it is full.
Fuel surges back out of fill tube while refueling. This happens everytime I refuel no matter what gas station, gas pump, how much fuel is added. About a quart of fuel will burp back out and will splash on the vehicle, ground, and person refueling the jeep. I took my jeep to the dealership where they admitted the problem is a faulty check valve located inside of the gas tank. The only repair is to replace the gas tank. I had to pay for the repairs because I'm the second owner of the vehicle which is only 5 years old and has 53,000 miles. This is clearly a manufactures defect and a safety issue that should be looked into and should be considered to be a recall at the manufactures expense.
I have a 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited. This vehicle has a fuel overflow spill problem every time I gas it up. As a matter of fact, I have been banned from a local gas station because I constantly spill fuel due to a jeep defect that does not shut the fuel pump prior to fill. Clearly a safety and environmental problem.
Every time I fill up the fuel tank it overflows, no matter which station or position of filler nozzle.
