2007 Chrysler Aspen spills gas when filling tank. I have tried stopping the pump before it shuts itself off automatically, but gas still pours down the side of the vehicle and/or shoots back at me. This has now happened five times in a row at different gas stations. This is incredibly dangerous.

For the past several months, our 2008 Chrysler Aspen with 37,000 miles has been spilling fuel at the end of each refueling. The pump shuts off as it should, and then fuel spills out. I would estimate that approximately 5-7 ounces of fuel spill out each time this occurs. I did some research, and learned that there was a recall on the fuel tank of the 2005 Dodge durango (same vehicle - ours is rebadged as a Chrysler). The recall language stated "fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve may not fully close at the end of refueling. This could allow some fueled to escape from the vehicle through the filler neck at the end of refueling. " this is exactly what seems to be occurring on our 2008 model. The pump shuts off, but fuel then follows and spills out.

Severe fuel back splash when filling gas tank.

Chrysler Aspen 2007 model gas tank overflows every time I fill up.

When refueling, upon auto shut off of fuel nozzle approximately a quart of gasoline will blow out from the fuel fill of the vehicle. This is not due to a problem with the pump nozzle, as it occurs at different fuel suppliers . This problem does not occur if filling is stopped short of a full tank. Fuel usually splashes onto the vehicle and the ground and has gotten on my sleeve if my hand is on the nozzle. Splashing of fuel is dangerous, it has been addressed by the manufacturer on some of their other vehicles and it should apply to this vehicle also. Updated ivoq 02/24/11.

1. Nothing obvious leading up tp the incident 2. When fueling the vehicle to the point of the auto shut off, the vehicle will burp fuel out of the fill resevoir. At every fill up, it only happenns during full tank fills. We do not keep filling after the auto shut off gets triggered. 3. Dealer says it's a bad check valve inside the fuel tank which is stuck in the open position. A fuel tank replacement is the only option. 4. There is a recall out for very similiar if not identical issue with it's sister truck 2005 Dodge durango. . .

2007 Chrysler Aspen gas tank overflows whenever I try to fill it up. . The pump shuts off , but then gas overflows out. I do not top off it just happens with the first shutoff of the gas pump. Gas bubbles out all over truck and ground (and shoes if within reach). This happens 9 out of 10 times if I try to fill it. If I only put in 16-17 gallons we are fine (26 gallon tank). Nothing has been done said they tested it and it is fine. Have seen other posts on the Chrysler forums where other people are having the same issue.
