EACH TIME I ADD FUEL FROM A GAS PUMP, ONCE THE PUMP STOPS AUTOMATICALLY, THE FUEL SPITS OUT FUEL, AS IF THERE IS TOO MUCH AIR GETTING INTO THE TANK AND PUSHING OUT THE FUEL. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, AND GAS GETS ALL OVER MY TIRE COVER, JEEP BODY, AND EVEN SOMETIMES ON ME, IF I AM HOLDING THE PUMP.
GREETINGS, MY 2007 JEEP WEANGLER HAS A FUELING ISSUE. WHEN EVER I FUEL MY JEEP IT OVERFLOWS AND SPITS GAS BACK AT ME WHEN EVER THE TANK GETS CLOSE TO FULL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME AND AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS.
I WAS FUELING MY JEEP. WHILE THE PUMP WAS ACTIVE I WAS WASHING THE WINDOWS. I HEARD ANS SMELLED FUEL SPLASHING AND HAD TO RUN BACK AND MANUALLY DISENGAGE THE NOZZLE. THE LEFT REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND WERE COVERED WITH GAS. THINKING IT MIGHT BE A GAS PUMP (GAS STATION) PROBLEM, I IGNORED THE PROBLEM. WHEN IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, I GOT REPAIRS DONE AT A LOCAL GARAGE. MY GARAGE LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND HTTP://WWW.EDMUNDS.COM/AUTOOBSERVER-ARCHIVE/2011/02/CHRYSLER-FUEL-SPIT-BACK-COMPLAINTS-RISE.HTML WHICH DOCUMENTS A SPIKE IN COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER IN JUNE OF 2010. A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT IF I LEFT THE GASOLINE PUMP ON AUTOMATIC, THE PUMP WOULD CUT OFF AND GASOLINE WOULD GUSH OUT FROM THE TANK, SPILLING ON THE VEHICLE AND GROUND BELOW. THIS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS STATIONS AND EVERY TIME I WENT TO FILL MY TANK TO FULL. TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING, I ONLY FILL MY TANK TO 3/4 FULL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT INTERMITTENTLY, FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK FROM THE FILLER TANK DURING REFUELING. THE CONTACT STATED HE WOULD HAVE TO HOLD THE FUEL PUMP AGGRESSIVELY WHEN REFUELING TO KEEP THE GASOLINE FROM SPILLING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ROLLOVER VALVE ON THE FUEL TANK WAS FRACTURED AND WOULD ONLY BECOME WORSE. THE DEALER STATED THE FAILURE WAS NOT A DEFECT BUT A WARRANTY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,700 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,000.
I BROUGHT A 2007 JEEP OFF A NEW CAR DEALER ( JEEP WAS USED WITH 53,000 MILES ON IT) 2 WEEKS AGO. I HAVE FILLED THE TANK 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE TANK HAS OVER FLOWED A LITTLE AT THE END OF THE FILL UP AND GAS HAS SPILLED OUT ONTO THE BUMPER AND THE GROUND. *TR
EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE JEEP WITH GASOLINE THE GASOLINE WILL SPILL OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, JUST AS THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF FROM THE GAS PUMP ACTIVATES. THIS STARTED HAPPENING THIS LAST SUMMER AND IS STILL OCCURRING. *TR
