EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK ON MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE TANK. THIS IS A SERIOUS HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN I FILL THE TANK MYSELF OR WHEN AN ATTENDANT FILLS IT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE ATTENDANT AT MY LOCAL STATION THAT THIS IS COMMON TO THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 31, 2011
STARTING AT 35K MILES ON MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER...EACH FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION, GAS WOULD SPEW OUT AFTER THE GAS PUMP WOULD CLICK OFF. THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. THE ONLY WAY NOT TO HAVE THE GAS SPILL OUT IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK UP. A DEFINITE FLAW IN DESIGN AS I'VE BEEN READING ITS HAPPENING TO LOTS OF JEEP OWNERS FROM 2007-2010. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 30, 2011
IF I FILL UP MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER THE GAS OVERFLOWS AND SHOOTS BACK OUT OF THE TANK AT THE END. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 28, 2011
JEEP WRANGLER 2008, GAS TANK OVERFLOWS UPON EVERY FILL UP, SHOOTS GASOLINE ONTO THE HANDS, ARM AND POTENTIALLY THE FACE. THE OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY JEEP, AND IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 28, 2011
EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, MY 08 JEEP WRANGLER 2DOOR WILL OVERFILL. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT STATION I AM AT, OR HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE TANK PREVIOUSLY. IT WILL ALWAYS SPEW ABOUT A CUP OF GAS ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND PAVEMENT UPON FILLING. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=V6W487ONKSO THE LINK IS TO A VIDEO I FOUND OF A PERSON THAT HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM, ALSO WITH A WRANGLER. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 27, 2011
STARTING IN NOVEMBER 2010 WITH LESS THAN 34,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN FILLING UP WITH FUEL THE JEEP WILL OVER FLOW ONCE FULL. NOW EVERY TIME THE FUEL NOZZLE IS CLICKED TO HOLD IN THE ON POSITION, FOR SOME REASON IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME, NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I USE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MYSELF AS WELL BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. I WOULD THINK THAT JEEP WOULD ISSUE A FULL RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I PURCHASED THE JEEP DID REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, AND OTHER COMPONENTS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 27, 2011
EVERY TIME I FILL MY JEEP WRANGLER MY GAS TANK WILL OVERFLOW. THE GAS PUMP WILL STOP, RECOGNIZING THAT THE TANK IS FULL, BUT THE TANK WILL OVERFLOW WITH ABOUT 1-2 CUPS OF GASOLINE. THIS IS HAPPENED AT EVERY GAS STATION I GO TO. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 26, 2011
STARTING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD, GASOLINE PUMPS NO LONGER SHUT OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING FILLED WITH GAS AND THE TANK BECOMES FULL. GAS CONTINUES TO PUMP, SPILLING FROM THE VEHICLE, AND THE PUMP HAS TO BE MANUALLY SHUT OFF. IT DIDN'T DO THIS WHEN NEW, NOR DID MY PRIOR WRANGLER (2000 MODEL OWNED FOR 5 YEARS).
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 26, 2011
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK AND THE GAS NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK AFTER ABOUT A 2 SECOND DELAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH THE JEEP WRANGLER ON LOCAL GAS PUMPS THAT I USE FREQUENTLY TO FILL MY HONDA CIVIC WITHOUT INCIDENT.
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 25, 2011
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AND ON AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP,THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AND THEN GAS WILL ALMOST SHOOT OUT OF THE FILLING TUBE. THIS HAPPENS ON AT ANY GAS STATION AND LEAVES GAS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. I NOW ONLY GET GAS WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN GUESS ON HOW MUCH GAS I NEED. AT FILL UP, I PUT THE PUMP TO AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF UNTIL I ESTIMATE I AM 2 GALLONS SHORT. I THEN FINISH OFF MANUALLY AT THE LOWEST FLOW RATE. THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE TO WORK.
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 25, 2011
WHEN FUELING MY JEEP THE AND AUTO SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP STOPS A FAIR AMOUNT OF FUEL COMES SPILLING OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A DANGER AS THERE IS EXPOSED FUEL ON MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS IS A WASTE OF MY MONEY AND A RISK TO THE ENVIRONMENT AS THE SPILL IS ON THE CONCRETE. WHEN RAIN OR WASHED THIS FUEL WILL BE INTRODUCED INTO THE WATER SYSTEM. ALSO THE DANGER IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS RAW FUEL FLOWING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE.

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK WITH GAS, GAS WILL SPILL OUT OF FILL NECK WHEN TANK FILLS-UP.
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 25, 2011
WHILE REFUELING MY JEEP THE GAS SPIT OUT OF THE FILLER NOZZLE AFTER THE PUMP HAD CLICKED OFF SPILLING GAS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED IN AS MANY TIMES AS I HAVE PURCHASED GAS FOR THE JEEP.

FUEL SPILLS FROM THE FUEL FILLER DURING FUELING. WHEN THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, FUEL OVERFLOWS AND SPLASHES AND SPILLS OUT THE FILLER AND ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 24, 2011
WHEN FILLING GAS TANK A LARGE BACKSPLASH OF GAS COMES OUT AS TANK APPROACHES FULL. I TRIED ADJUSTING THE GAS HOSE NOZZLE BOTH IN AND OUT. SPLASHING OCCURS IN ALL CASES. GETS LESS THE FURTHER THE NOZZLE IS PULLED OUT. GAS COULD SPLASH ON PERSON STANDING CLOSE, MOSTLY RUNS DOWN SIDE OF JEEP AND ONTO AND OVER REAR BUMPER AND ONTO GROUND. SERVICE STATION ATTENDANTS HAVE COME OUT TO CHECK FOR ISSUE DUE TO AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLED. CAR HAD NO ISSUES WITH THIS FOR FIRST 3 YEARS. PROBLEM DEVELOPED SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING. ONLY FIX IS TO NOT COMPLETELY FILL TANK BUT YOU HAVE TO GUESS EACH TIME HOW CLOSE TO FULL THE TANK IS. GAS SPILLED OUT BETWEEN 1/10 AND 1/2 GAL EACH TIME -HARD TO MEASURE. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 21, 2011
WHILE FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, AFTER THE GAS PUMP HANDLE SHUTS OFF, A PORTION OF GAS WILL FLOW OUT OF THE FILL TUBE. DIFFERENT POSITIONS OF THE GAS PUMP INSERTED INTO FILL TUBE STILL RESULTS IN GAS POURING OUT THE FILL TUBE. GAS WILL STILL POUR OUT OF THE FILL TUBE EVEN AT A VERY SLOW FILL RATE. DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS WERE USED WITH THE SAME RESULT. THERE IS GREAT CONCERN ABOUT THE SPILLED FUEL CATCHING FIRE ON THE VEHICLE OR A PERSON WHO THIS HAPPENS TO UNEXPECTED.

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, GAS OVERFLOWS SPILLING FUEL ALL OVER VEHICLE, PUMP AND ANY PERSONS CLOSE BY. THIS HAPPENS JUST AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, AND HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP.

GAS SHOOTS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONTO ME, THE JEEP, & THE GROUND BEFORE THE PUMP CUTS OFF EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP. THIS JUST STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO. I BOUGHT THE JEEP FROM A FRIEND WHO PURCHASED IT NEW, & SHE SAID THAT IT HAD JUST STARTED DOING IT A FEW WEEKS BEFORE I GOT IT FROM THEM. IT NEVER HAPPENED UNTIL THE JEEP GOT ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA HAS FUEL OVERFLOW EVERY TIME THAT I FILL THE TANK. IT SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR, ON THE GROUND, AND ON MYSELF IF I AM IN FRONT OF THE NOZZLE. I TOOK IT IN 2 YEARS AGO, AND WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I HAVE TRIED FILLING IT DIFFERENTLY, BUT IT STILL SPILLS A LITTLE WHEN IT IS ALMOST FULL. IT MAKES MY HANDS STINK, AND MY GARAGE. I AM AFRAID IT WILL CORRODE THE PAINT ON MY CAR. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER WRANGLERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND MY WIFE HAS A 2009 WRANGLER THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 19, 2011
WHEN FILLING UP THE GASOLINE TANK ON MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X 2-DR, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY STOP AND THE GAS POURS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS NEVER HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST FEW MONTH OF OWNING THE JEEP BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER, OVER TIME IT HAS GOTTEN SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 18, 2011
THE LAST THREE OR SO TIMES I'VE FILLED THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF ON THE PUMP DOES NOT ENGAGE UNTIL FUEL HAS OVERFLOWED THE TANK AND SPILLED ONTO THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHICH FUEL STATION I GO TO. EACH INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED AT A FUEL STATION WHERE I USED TO BE ABLE TO FILL MY TANK WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT AN INVESTIGATION IS ALREADY OPEN REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I WOULD THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER CONSIDERING THE PROXIMITY OF THE FUEL SPILL TO HOT BRAKE PADS AND OTHER POTENTIAL SOURCES OF IGNITION.

Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 16, 2011
GAS WILL SPILL FROM THE FUEL INLET WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, REGARDLESS OF SPEED OF ADDITIONAL GAS OR CURRENT AMOUNT WITHIN GAS TANK. ENOUGH GAS IS SPILLED TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE SHOULD IT REACH AN IGNITION SOURCE.
