Fuel spills when gas tank is full every time I fill up the Jeep. My father has this same problem also.
Every time I fill up my gas tank, the auto shut off doesn't happen until the tank overflows, this has caused gas to spill out sometimes onto the person filling up the tank. This happens every time at any station I use.
Every time I need to fill my 2005 Jeep Wrangler with gas it spills out of the nozzle and all over the ground right at the pump. This situation is extremely dangerous, bad for the environment and wasteful. No matter how the nozzle is held, what gas company I use or how slow I let it pump in the fuel seems to change the final outcome of a large slosh of gasoline gushing out onto the ground. As an added consequence, many gas stations don't even have the means or proper equipment to clean up this hazardous waste spill. I have seen nothing released and no fixes for this problem from Jeep or any other company because apparently Jeep does not feel that it is important enough, dangerous enough or even enough of a pain to their customers to offer a remedy. If it wasn't so dangerous to hold an electronic device while filling my vehicle, I'd happily send a video in of what it does when it reaches the top of the tank.
When I fill up the gas tank. The valve in the tank is stuck. So it will not automatically turn off the pump causing me to not know if it is full or not. Since there is no way to know when it is full it spills out if the tank and all over me the body of my car and ground. This is a well known complaint with all Wranglers in this model. Please help fix this.
Upon filling the gas tank, fuel overflows, at times it sprays all over the place.
When filling up the gas tank in my 2005 Jeep Wrangler gas spews out of the tank once full.
Fuel overflows from filler neck everytime purchasing fuel regardless of fuel station. This is a substantial quantity of fuel that represents a fire and environmental hazard. Fuel splashed out and got on my 3. 5 year old daughter even though she was standing at what was considered to be a safe distance. It is not uncommon for fuel to shoot out close to 3 feet. When you think the tank is almost full even when slowing down the pump fuel will still splash out.
2005 Jeep Wrangler rubicon unlimited overflow fuel onto the ground (more than 1 cup) at every fill up. The tank also stops short of the expected volume. Vehicle has 47k miles and is past warranty. As stated, this happens at every fillup. The evaporative control filling units (like found in houston) have a further issue of not operating faster than the first 'click'. The safety and environmental issue is directly tied to the release (sometimes violent) of fuel from the filler neck onto the ground or bystanders. Watershed will push this raw fuel directly into storm drains, and in this area, into our drinking water aquafer recharge zones.
Every time I try and fill up the gas tank on my 2005 Jeep Wrangler tj, gas overflows down the side of my vehicle. This happens at any and every pump I go to. I've never had this problem with any other car. Why hasn't this been recalled? besides being dangerous, it's also wasting my money, since up to a quart of gasoline comes shooting out every time I fill up.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 49,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.
Gas tank overflows and splashes out gas when filling the vehicle with gas. It occurs at every fill up and at various gas stations/pumps. The result is gas splashing and flowing out of the filler nozzle posing a fire hazard and exposure to a solvent. The gas tank was removed and the vent hoses inspected with no abnormalities found.
When filling the gas tank, prior to gettng full, there is gas "burping"/splashing out of the fill opening.
During refueling of the vehicle, when the tank gets full it will shoot gas out all over the place. Many times it has not only splashed on the ground around the Jeep, but also on me.
Gas exits my gas tank with force behind it after every fill up.
Fuel does not shut off when filling tank. Happens all the time. Gas spewed onto my shoes and clothing! 87 octane is not the scent I choose to be wearing! is there is a recall that I have not been notified about????.
Every time I fill my gas tank it overflows all over the outside of the vehicle. The automatic shut off on the gas pumps does not do anything. The gas pump will shut off automatically and still over flow. Sick and tired of constantly cleaning gas off the outside of my car.
Sprays gas out the filler neck when the tank gets full and the auto shut off on the gas nozzle activates. This happens every time I fill it up. This problem started a long time ago so I just estimated it started at 40,000 miles. I now have 70,000 miles on the vehicle.
When filling gas tank, gas flies out of the opening and down onto the ground when the pump kicks off.
Overflow of gas tank at every fill up.
Fuel tank belches gasoline out before auto shut off occurs, spraying gas outward on vehicle and operator.

Gas overflows / spews out when filling up due to bad design of fuel tank vent system.
When fueling, pump will not automatically shut off when gas tank is full. This spills gas on the vehicle, owner, and ground.
I am experiencing a continuing, dangerous and worsening spraying of gasoline when I fill the tank of my 2005 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. I have video evidence of this problem, and has been occurring since the vehicle had approximately 40,000 miles on it. I just learned this safety issue is well known within the Jeep community.
When filling up the vehicle's fuel tank, an air pocket is trapped at the top of the tank. When the tank becomes full, this air pocket rushes towards the neck and out towards the person filling up the vehicle. Each time this occurs, fuel spews onto the side of the vehicle and sometimes sprays outward onto the pump handle and me. This is dangerous not only for the environment, but for me filling up the vehicle because it has the potential to get into my eyes/face when the fuel and air bubble rush out. I took the vehicle in to the local Jeep dealership and another reputable mechanic, and both said they could put a new tank on, but that may not fix the problem because the tanks on the Wranglers have a manufacturing defect that causes this problem. All sensors and vents on my tank are working properly. When the fuel tank becomes full, the pump is shut off as it is supposed to, but about half a second afterwards is when the air and fuel spew out. I am not letting the vehicle run while filling up, nor am I trying to top the tank off. This is a defect in the fuel tank of this vehicle and this problem needs to be addressed by Jeep. I just purchased the vehicle, and this happens whenever I fill up. I do not know if this happened to the previous owners or not, there are multiple forums on the internet that state that there are a large number of Wrangler owners that are having this problem.
I purchased a used 2005 Jeep Wrangler with 17,000 miles. When I filled the tank, gas would gush out of the filler and splash all over the side of the vehicle. I had the vehicle repaired under warranty (new fuel tank), which did correct the problem. Now, at just over 51,000 miles, the problem has returned. Every time I fill the vehicle, this dangerous fuel spill occurs. I live in a very dry (low humidity) climate, and it is very common to get static discharge when touching any conductive surface. I am fearful that I am going to experience a vehicle fire if this situation continues. I can not understand how this problem has not caused a recall to correct the defect.
When filling the gas tank the gas always spews out without the nozzle cutting off.
Gasoline spits out of tank while filling with fuel. This occurs every time I refuel. This is a health risk as well as an environmental risk that needs to be addressed.
Everytime I fill up my 2005 Jeep Wrangler unlimited rubicon with fuel, gas shoots out the filler tube instead of shutting off when the tank is full.
My "new" used 2005 Jeep tj will spill gas all over the place when filling up gas. It doesn't matter if I do it manually or let it fill up with the auto switch on. Even when I "hear" the gas near the top of the tank it still spits gas out of the tank and onto my hands, the side of the Jeep and on the ground. What a pain in the ass.
At around the 50k mileage mark, fuel would gush out when filling up the tank. Tried different gas stations, old and brand new pumps, all resulted in gas gushing out as the pump turned off. Chrysler-Jeep service replaced the fuel filler tube. Topped off the gas tank after the "fix", seemed good. Let the tank go down to less than 1/4 then filled the tank and the gas gushed out yet again! this is both a safety and environment issue. Please request Jeep to find a real fix for this and issue a recall.
After filling the fuel tank, the gas pump stops but the gas comes gushing out of the filler tube. This has now happened every time I have filled up my Jeep since the first time it happened in Jan 2011.
