The dealer called me and told me to bring the loaner in and take my truck with no repairs. The service people said that mopar no long carried the tank for my truck after ten (10) years. Inspection is coming up in July of 2019. Other than the fuel tank, my truck is just like it was, when I bought it new. Please help me and others with this problem.

When I stop for gas, I try to fill the gas tank, gas comes gushing out from around the tank opening. This has happened several times. About a pint or more sprays out all over me the side of my vehicle and the ground. I am afraid of the volatility of the gas so I won't take a photo for fear of a spark. Not only is this physical getting fuel on my person but an environment hazard too. Need help soon the factory won't do anything about it although they have fixed similar trucks that do the exact same thing, they say I am not covered! they say it is happening because of the roll-over valve sticking. Not only am I at risk of burning up at the station, I could be incinerated in a roll-over crash!!.

3 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2016

Fuel tank inlet check valve has failed, not allowing fuel to enter gas tank during fill ups at gas station. Under a warranty extension (x49) vehicles between mdh #020108-063023 are accepted although the same part and issue is coming up on my vehicle with mdh # 110821 of the same model year. It is not covered under a very limited recall used to cover for a much larger problem concerning made vehicles manufactured under Chrysler. This is a much larger and widely reported problem than the manufacturer is representing due to the large recall and repair costs it would take on. The consumer must now replaced the whole fuel tank due to the fuel tank inlet valve being molded into the tank, which is extremely costly.

Failure Date: 08/16/2016

Vehicle engine will die/stall when gas is full, especially when going around corners or stopping quickly as in for an emergency. Sometimes just dies when slowing down. Seems to be related to gas moving around in the gas tank when it is full or close to full. When vehicle dies power steering and brakes are also lost making it difficult to maintain control and it quickly becomes a dangerous situation trying to maintain control of a vehicle that weights thousands of pounds while moving along a busy street. Very dangerous.

After the fuel tank is filled, when slowing down or coming to a stop the vehicle will stall and die in traffic and is slow to restart. The dash shows a "check gauges" light, however there are no codes thrown. The dealer has said that the fuel tank needs to be replaced but if this is the case is seems that it is a design flaw.

7 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 09/04/2015

Second owner vehicle bought Aug 2015 with approximately 32000 miles. Every time fuel is added to the vehicle, no matter which pump I use, fuel gushes from the filler neck of the vehicle. This occurs even if I fill the tank slowly not using the automatic filler on the pump. If the tank is filled to full it will overflow. Approximately a pint of gasoline shoots out of the filler neck and down the side of the vehicle onto the ground and myself. This is a well documented complaint with these vehicles. Please tell Chrysler to fix this environmental and safety hazard.

While fueling truck on several occasions when the tank is full and the pump shuts off, fuel flys back out of the fill neck. This needs to be fixed ASAP and Dodge knows about it with all the complaints I see on here. Thank you if you can help get this fixed for me.

9 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 12/24/2014

When trying to fuel my vehicle at gas pump, gas began spewing and gurgling from the tank. I could get no more than around a gallon in the tank without it spewing gas back out all over my truck and the ground. I tried pumping slower, pulling nozzle in and out of tank, and waiting a while. I had no luck. I subsequently tried again two more times a week apart and still can't get gasoline into my vehicle without it spewing out. Upon reviewing this problem online I found a term used for this problem. "spitback. " I also found that many Chrysler vehicles have had this problem. Also, it would appear that if it's a certain issue, the entire tank may need to be replaced for a simple little valve which is inaccessible otherwise.

11 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 04/06/2013

The 'check engine' light came on. It read 'gascap. " I took the truck to the local Dodge dealer, who smoke-tested the evap system and found a leak at the top of the fuel tank (toward the front) where two lines enter the evap system. Two nipples come out of a short cylindrical part of the tank itself. One of these is extremely thin, and it had sheered off, leaving its hose unattached. There is no way to repair this single part, as it is intrinsic to the fuel tank itself, thus necessitating the replacement of the entire fuel tank. I found a used one, and the owner of the used parts lot told me he had seen many such occurences. According to the mechanic at the dealership, the unattached hose presents a very grave safety issue. He told me not to smoke near that part of the vehicle, and that if a spark came up into that area the vehicle could explode. The nipple, according to the owner of the used parts yard, is a weak link in that particular design.

When fueling using the pump auto shutoff feature the tank overfills and spits out approximately a pint of fuel that could easily ignite due to any nearby source of ignition. I strongly recommend not using the auto shutoff feature when fueling '08 Dodge pick up trucks.
