2010 Jeep Wrangler: fuel pump failure

Filed Jun 24, 2019 · Fuel system · 44,000 miles · GA

When filling my jeep with fuel, the fuel pump does not shut off quickly enough and gasoline splatters out of the tank and onto my hands, cloths, jeep and ground. This happens every time regardless where I fill up. I use qt, bp and shell stations. Some are new and some or old. This can not be a pump issue but a jeep issue.

Using fuel pump auto shut off results in tank overfilling

Filed Mar 25, 2014 · Fuel system · 37,000 miles · NC

When filling the vehicle with fuel, the fuel pumps do not shut off and fuel spills out. The vehicle is allowed to be overfilled. The gas tank needs to force the gas pumps to stop when full. Fuel on most occasions splashes and spills on the person fueling the vehicle. This creates safely and environmental issues. A fire is waiting to happen.

When refueling, the nozzle on the fuel pump will not stop on time, allowing fuel to splash back at the person refueling. Today, the nozzle didn't stop at all, allowing a lot of fuel to spill on the ground. A person doesn't have to fill it up either. If you stop mid refill, it will still spray back at the person refueling.

2010 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited: while refueling my vehicle I engaged the handle to continue fueling while I went inside the gas station. When I returned, the pump had disengaged, but there was fuel all over the side of my jeep and on the ground. My fuel gauge registered full and this had never happened so I thought the fuel pump may have been faulty. My next trip to the gas station, I monitored it more closely and was able to refuel as normal confirming my original thought that the pump had malfunctioned. During my next attempt to refuel I had again engaged the handle to continue fueling as I sat inside the vehicle. I heard the thunk of the automatic shut off and saw again the gas had sprayed all over the side of my jeep and on the ground. This was not the same gas station as the original occurrence so I believed the problem was actually my gas tank. I took my jeep to the dealership where they replaced my gas tank without explanation. At this point I had approximately 22k miles on my jeep. I purchased my jeep new in august 2010 with 154 miles on it. I have owned it for 18 months and it has approximately 22k miles on it.

Was 4 wheeling and smell fuel out of the right side rear. Dealer installed o ring: fuel pump and level. Installed new fuel tank. 07/01/2011 smelled fuel coming from right rear. Dealer did smoke test and found leak at the evap canister installed new vent canister. 08/04/2011. Still smell fuel from right rear, dealer did smoke test found no leaks, but could smell fuel vapor in right rear. Stated that when off rode fuel moves more in the tank and that the jeep is safe, and no fix at this time. How can this be true??. If I would strike a match it would explode and life could be lost.
