When I was at a gas station that didn't have a fuel vapor recovery system on the fuel pump handle, fuel would spit back out when the fuel tank got full, getting fuel on the pump handle and down the side of the Jeep.
Every time I fill my 2005 Jeep Wrangler, the full hose will not shut off and gas shoots out all over the fender and the ground. This happens at all gas stations and it doesn't matter whether I use the auto shut off or hold the nozzle, the gas still shoots out creating a safety and environmental hazard.
Fueling stopper assembly does not trigger gas station pump nozzle to stop dispensing fuel on time. The result is spilled fuel every time due to fuel over flow from fuel tank when ever a fuel fill up is attempted. This happens 100% of the time.
Incident mileage on my report is due to buying the vehicle used, but has most likely occurred since date of original purchase. Due to an bad check valve in the fuel tank, overfilling occurs at almost every fill-up, creating both environmental concerns and potential hazardous conditions.

Fuel overflows and spills all over the exterior, ground and sometimes my shoes every time I fill my gas tank. I know this is an extremely common issue, and am hoping for a recall. Thanks!!!
Gas tank spills every time I fill it up. Squirts out and onto my clothes, ground, paint job and fender. Me and many others are having this problem. Recall!!!!
I bought my 05 Jeep lj Wrangler unlimited with 20,600 miles and the 1st time I filled it at 20,800 and every single time it whether I have the handle set to automatic shutoff or hand pump it slow or fast doesn't matter what gas station it spews gas all over before stopping today at 31K miles I've had it slew so bad I got soaked from the waist down having my legs feel a burning sensation along with my feet due to being soaked in gas!!!!!!!!!! I want a recall I looked online most Wrangler owners complain of this issue this isn't a sole complaint as far as im aware why hasn't it been recalled??
Everytime I fill up my vehicle the nozzle doesn't kick off, gas pours out the filler neck, gas is expensive these days to just pour it on the ground and bad for the environment, I try to not let it happen but still it does, I feel that Jeep should bring out a recall on this. I cant fill my vehicle up all the way as I like to be able to. The fender flare is discolored because of the gas spilling out on to it and then I have to go and get the gas off my hands and shoes when I shouldn't have to. I know there are more problems other than mine as you can go to www.jeepforum.com/forum/F176/have-fuel-spill-problems-like-many-us-submit-complaint-force-recall-974337/ and see many on there has had this problem aswell and have videos of this happening. Im just afraid that static electricity my spark on it at the time this happens and causes a big mess. Please help me and others make Jeep send out a recall on this. My vehicle is completely stock no modifications has been done to it to alter the way gas goes into the tank. Thank you for your time.
Fuels sprays out of the fill point when filling at a gas station. I have had it spray into the air and into my mouth and close to my eyes. I have the nozzle in the hole and on auto stop and when it is full, the pump stops the fueling after the fuel come squirting out. This is a known problem and I am sick and dang tired of getting fuel all over my hands, face and clothing!
When fueling vehicle gas splashes out of fuel filler intake. This happens on just about every fill up. It doesn't appear to make any difference if you fill up slowly or at normal fill speed. Gasoline spilling on the side of the vehicle and spilling onto the ground can't be a safe thing.
When filling the gas tank on my 2005 Jeep Wrangler, I get a back splash of gas more often than not. I've taken the precaution of slowing the pump down when close to full, but still spill gas. When I spoke to Chrysler about another issue, I mentioned the overflow issue. I was told to have the "fuel tank inlet check valve" looked at the next time I was at the dealership.
Every time I fill up my 2005 Jeep Wrangler unlimited the tank will overflow. It doesn't matter if I let the auto stop click to stop the gas or if I slow down when I know it is getting full, the gas will overflow and leak everywhere. It's a decent size puddle too, not just a couple drips.
