1 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 01/07/2012

When refueling a significant quantity (estimated at 8 ounces or more) of gasoline is "spit back" or discharged from the fuel filler opening as the tank reaches full. This discharge produces a puddle of gasoline at least 24" in diameter and leaves the exterior and underside of the fender dripping with gasoline and depending on the filler hose configuration may soak the clothing of the person operating the pump. This event occurs every time the vehicle is refueled unless care is taken to stop adding fuel before the tank reaches full capacity. Clearly this creates a very dangerous, environmentally hazardous and potentially life threatening situation!!.

2 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 03/18/2011

Every time I fill the gas tank of my Jeep fuel spits back. The dealer said it was normal, I do not believe this should happen. I recently read on line about many Jeeps doing the same thing. This has been happening for about one year. I purchased the vehicle new. It has never been in an accident, and is well maintained.

3 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2010

At the end of the pumping of gas, it spews out the fuel line and all over my Jeep and the ground. This seems like a safety and ecological issue. I have tried everything from pumping fast to slow, nozzle right side up to upside down, all the way in and half way out. Nothing stops the problem.
