2006 Jeep Wrangler Fuel system Problems

Vehicle’s inlet check valve for gas tank does not work properly when tank is filled at fueling stations. Does not trigger gas pumps to stop causing overflow and spilling on person / clothing / vehicle and gas station property. This is a known issue for 2005-2006 Jeep Wranglers. The issue was repaired by manufacturer for newer Jeep Wranglers. Currently no manufacturer ownership on remediation issue and/or recall for 2005-2006 model year Jeep Wranglers.

DURING PUMPING OF GASOLINE INTO THE TANK WHEN THE TANKS FILLS, GAS SPEWS FROM THE TANK EVERYTIME. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH EITHER OF THE OTHER 3 JEEPS THAT I OWN. THIS CAUSES A POTENTIAL FOR FIRE AND/OR INJURY DUE TO GASOLINE SPLASHING ON HANDS, ARMS AND CLOTHES.

JEEP WRANGLER 2005 AND 2006. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AT THE GAS STATION, GASOLINE WILL OVERFLOW MOMENTARILY, SPILLING GASOLINE ON THE GROUND FROM THE GAS TANK FILLER TUBE WHEN THE GAS PUMP FUEL NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE 2005 AND 2006 MODEL YEAR WRANGLERS I HAVE OWN(ED). REVIEWING COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE MODEL YEARS. AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM IS THE INTERNAL STICKING (DUE TO INTERNAL VALVE PLUG EXPANSION) CHECK VALVE THAT CAUSES SPILLAGE ALSO MAY NOT PERMIT PROPER FUEL FILLING.

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK TO FULL GASOLINE WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE AND OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT (I CAN ONLY RECALL 4 TIMES WHEN IT DID NOT OCCUR SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2015 WITH 82,000 MILES ON IT. IN ALL CASES THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, ENGINE WAS OFF, PARKED NEXT TO THE GASOLINE PUMP.

WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WITH SHOOT OUT OF THE FUEL FILL WHEN THE TANK IS NEARLY FULL. FROM SPEAKING WITH OTHER JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED OWNERS (2005 & 2006 MODELS ONLY), THIS ISSUE IS COMMONPLACE AND UNADDRESSED BY JEEP. IT IS REPORTEDLY DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE OVERFLOW VALUE IN THE FILLER TUBE. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, APPROXIMATELY 1/4 OF GASOLINE WILL FLOW OUT OF THE TANK BEFORE THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF. THIS HAS EXPOSED ME TO GASOLINE ON MY SKIN, AS WELL AS SPILLED FUEL ON THE GROUND. THERE IS RISK DUE TO EXPOSURE TO ETHANOL AND OTHER CHEMICALS, ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE WITH GASOLINE ON THE GROUND, AND FIRE RISK.

EVERY TIME I FILL MY JEEP, IT OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS FUEL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND THE GROUND BEFORE THE RULE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH EVERY FILL UP AT ANY FUEL STATION I USE. IT WILL SOMETIMES OVERFILL AND SPILL ENOUGH OUT AS TO NECESSITATE THE USE OF A FUEL SPILL CLEANUP KIT AND I'VE HAD SEVERAL SHOES AND PANTS RUINED FROM SPOUTING FUEL. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL COMPLAIN OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM, BUT A FIRE SAFETY PROBLEM AS WELL. IT CANNOT BE SAFE TO HAVE A SYSTEM THAT OVERFILLS AND SPILLS GASOLINE EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU FILL YOUR VEHICLE CREATING A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FIRE.

EVERY TIME I FILL MY JEEP WITH GASOLINE, WHEN IT REACHES IT'S CAPACITY, GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND ONTO THE REAR FENDER FLARE AND SUBSEQUENTLY ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT A NEW ISSUE WITH THESE JEEPS AND IT IS A FIX THAT SHOULD BE DONE BY THE MANUFACTURER DUE TO THE OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF NOT CORRECTED. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE UP WITH GAS AND IT'S RIDICULOUS.

EVERYONE IS PURCHASING GM FILLER TUBE WITH FLAPPER TO REPLACE JEEP FILLER. DONE SO FREQUENTLY CAN'T GET PART. JEEP COULD FIX EASILY INSTALLING 20 DOLLAR FILLER TUBE OR PUTTING NEW VALVE IN TANK. THIS IS SERIOUS.

WHEN YOU FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE AUTOMATIC STOP DOESN'T WORK AND THE GAS SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. I BOUGHT THE JEEP USED ON JULY 11, 2014, AND I JUST HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT HAD 35,000 MILES, NOW I HAVE 70,666 MILES. I WENT ONLINE AND ON THE JEEP FORUM AND YOUTUBE SOME PEOPLE HAD FIXES BY BUYING A GM NEW FUEL FILLER HOSE PART #15131046 AND REPLACING IT AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED. ACCORDING TO WHAT I'VE READ THE WARRENTIES WERE EXTENDED FOR 2007 AND OVER BUT NOT THE 2006'S.

FUEL TANK FILLER NECK SPILLS GASOLINE FORCEFULLY OVER THE SIDE, FENDER FLARE AND GROUND, WHICH REQUIRES A SPILL KIT TO BE USED TO CLEANUP THE PUDDLE CREATED BY THIS SPILL. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED BEFORE AND WAS FIXED USING THE SAME FAULTY PARTS WHICH AT THAT TIME WAS UNDER WARRANTY. APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES LATER THE SAME SPILLING OF GASOLINE OCCURRED BUT DEALERSHIP SAID THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $1000 TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS A POSSIBLY SEVERE INJURY TO MYSELF AS THE GASOLINE COULD FLY INTO MY EYES OR UNTO MY CLOTHES. I DEMAND A COMPLETE NEW FUEL TANK CONFIGURATION AND FUEL FILLER NECK PARTS. TWO EXACT PROBLEMS MEANS FAULTY EQUIPMENT PARTS AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED WITH UPDATED PARTS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS FIXED IS LISTED BELOW.

WHEN SITTING STILL WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND PUTTING GAS IN MY 06 JEEP WRANGLER, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT KICK OFF QUICK ENOUGH WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND SPILLS GAS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD - IF YOU ARE NOT STANDING BACK, IT WILL SPLASH GAS ONTO YOUR CLOTHES WHICH COULD BE A DANGEROUS PERSONAL HAZARD WITH THE POTENTIAL OF BURNS TO A PERSONS BODY. GETTING IN AND OUT OF A VEHICLE PRODUCES STATIC ELECTRICITY AND COULD BE ENOUGH TO START A FIRE WITH THE JEEP AND POTENTIAL DANGER TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTY. THE JEEP WILL "BURP" GAS EVERYTIME THAT YOU FILL IT - THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I DO NOT EVEN FILL THE TANK AND LET THE PUMP KICK OFF ANYMORE FOR THIS REASON - IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF YOU WAIT FOR THE PUMP TO KICK OFF.
