2008 Jeep Wrangler: gas smell in the cabin

Filed Feb 24, 2022 · Fuel system · CA

I own the Jeep for 6 months now and at each fill up, fuel gets spit out of f the filler neck at the end. I try running slow, manual and the noses in different position. The jeep dealer say, there is no problem or recall for my VIN. But there is a recall part :(CNNNX321AC Tube) available form Mopar, there don't sell to the public. I like to fix this problem for more than one reason. Environmental, wasting Fuel, damaging the paint and plastic, fire hazard and fuel smell on my closes. I am a retired senior master Car technician, German (Kraftfahrzeug mechaniker Meister)with 50 years experience.

Since 2017, every time I pump fuel into the car at gas station, the pump overflows and spills all over the side of the car, the ground and then my feet and hands because I have to step in the puddle and put the gas cap on. I moved to tn from ca in 2016 and I have been thinking that it the shell gas pumps here in tn that were causing it...as if they were old or not up to some sort of "ca standard" or something. However, after this problem just happened to my pregnant wife with our 2 year old in the car, I decided to check a jeep forum and see if anyone else is having this problem. Lo and behold, this appears to be a serious issue dating back 10 years to a 2010 forum I found. Url: https://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f176/have-fuel-spill-problems-like-many-us-submit-complaint-force-recall-974337/ this video shows exactly what happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=hae5ht-_y48&feature=emb_logo this is a serious risk of fire and safety...for not just me, but any patron at a gas station who is either there with me or drives up to my pump after me. The fumes are now on our feet and then in the car...then we go home or where and spread that gasoline fumes around everywhere we go. This is a serious safety issue and I'm very concerned why there is no recall on this given the ease to diagnose this problem with one simple google search. I'm very concerned...

Gas overflows and spills out during every fueling. I think it is an inlet check valve issue. Gas tank also leaks gas around the fuel pump seal. Smells like gas outside the vehicle

Fuel spills out of gas tank at every filling. Strong gas odor from gas tank at all times.

Have jk 2r rubicon model. When traveling in the high country in colorado I start to smell fuel fumes around noon and they do not go away until we refuel at the end of the day. The fuel tank get so hot the ethanol boils off and the emission system cannot handle the fumes so they vent into the atmosphere. The jeep fills with fumes and vehicles behind can smell them too. All of the two door jk models we travel with have the same problem. Jeep has been of no help and say they know of the problem but have no solution. In the last year 2 of us have contacted large cell lymphoma. Ethanol is a class one carcinogin.

Had been smelling raw gas inside and outside vehicle for several months. Finally tracked down to fuel line coming from gas tank. Plastic elbow under driver seat (rhd postal jeep) has pinhole and has been squirting a fine stream of fuel onto bottom of vehicle. If it had squirted on exhaust or any other hot surface, it would surely cause a fire. Wonder if any other elbows have failed on other vehicles, and also if there are any fuel line elbows in the engine compartment? Could be explanation for engine fires that are being investigated. Local jeep dealer had replaced fuel tank on 10-19-11 due to a recall about fuel spilling out of filler tube after fuel handle clicked off. Never noticed gas smell before the tank was replaced.
