When refueling the vehicle, fuel pump never shuts off. This has been a problem with the vehicle now for a long time. The fuel system allows the pump to continue running after the tank is full. It does not matter what gas station I go to. Gasoline always overflows and spills out onto the ground. I was recently refueling my and the vehicle and the pump did not shut off. A substantial amount of gas flowed out onto the ground and something lit the fuel vapors causing a small fire. I was able to put it out with an extinguisher. This could have caused the entire gas station to catch fire/explode and is extremely dangerous.
A large amount of fuel violently erupts from tank mouth when filling and overflows onto the vehicle, ground & myself. This occurs at each complete fill-up. This 2005 Jeep Wrangler sporadically trips obd-2 check engine codes for emission evaporative components, in the p0440-p0456 range.
Gas tank spits back out gas as soon as the filling stops. There is enough gas lost to spill down the side of the Jeep and onto the ground. I have used different pumps at the same station and finally went to other stations and the same has happened each time I gas up my vehicle. I just returned from the Jeep dealership and they told me the problem was in the check valve and I would need a costly replacement of the whole tank. I see now that this is a common problem with this gas tank. Losing even a small amount of gas is costly not to mention the potential danger of free gas spilling out. A recall is needed which is not limited to only certain years.
Every time I attempt to fill the gas tank on my 2005 Jeep Wrangler x fuel overflows at the point at which it should automatically shut off. On some occassions its a small amount, other times, its sprays out forcefully and gets all over me, my Jeep, the ground, and anything else in the immediate area. It does not matter which gas station I fill up at, it happens everywhere. My only solution is to attempt to calculate how much I can put in manually without totally filling it up. Lots of guesswork involved, sometimes unsuccessfully. I see spraying a flammable liquid around in an unintended manner as a safety hazard. So far, Jeep does not see it the same way. . . .
Every time I refuel my 2005 Jeep Wrangler a large amount of fuel spits out of the fuel filler onto the ground. It appears to be a problem with the design of the check valve built into the fuel tank. This manufacturing defect is a major fire hazard as well as an environmental hazard.
My 2005 Jeep Wrangler rubicon overflows fuel every time I fill up the gas tank. For some reason the gas pump will never stop filling the tank automatically until a large amount of fuel comes spilling out of the fill tube. I have read many complaints about this issue on Jeep forums online, and feel that Chrysler should be recalling affected models to fix this issue.
My 2005 Jeep Wrangler unlimited (24,000 miles) started spitting a small amount of gasoline from the filler tube about a year ago. It would spit out about a second after the nozzle shut off. Like many others that are experiencing this problem, I blamed the station’s equipment. I tried other stations & other techniques like filling slower & trying to anticipate when the tank would be full & filling as slowly as the nozzle would allow. Nothing seemed to prevent the spit back. I recently became aware of the workings of the vapor control properties of my Jeep. That led me to an internet forum & to the fact others are having the same problem. I also saw that the NHTSA has investigated this problem on 2007 & 2008 Wranglers & that has led to Chrysler voluntarily extending the warranty on those gas tanks. However, in their final report the NHTSA (pe10-032) seemed critical of the number of complaints because of internet exposure. If this exposure leads to identifying more people with legitimate complaints, how is this a bad thing? these assertions may be easily verified by a trip to a filling station. Part of chrysler’s response was based on warranty claims, it is logical that the older & out of warranty vehicles would not be considered in their evaluation. I believe that extending the warranty rather than a recall is a good way of handling this (replacing only the tanks with problems) & I applaud Chrysler for this. I hope you will encourage Chrysler to add the 2004-2006 Wranglers to the extended gas tank warranty program as we are experiencing the exact same issue as the ‘07 & ‘08s are. The fair alternative would be a safety recall. The identified failure seems to be a check valve in the gas tank.
My 2005 Jeep Wrangler sport spits out a significant amount of gasoline when the tank is being filled up. The amount of fuel is enough to worry me and create a possible fire danger.
Fuel tank overflow problem. Every time I fill up a significant amount of fuel spills from the tank.
I have a 2005 Jeep Wrangler rocky mountain edition. Every fill up results in an overflow of gas because the nozzle does not automatically shut off until the tank overflows. This has been going on for a few months and was never a problem before.
2005 Jeep Wrangler when filling the fuel tank it always overflows when full. It does not shut off and spills onto the ground. This did not originally do this but has happened over time on it's own. Not only is this inconvenient but it is also dangerous. After talking with other Wrangler owners an amazing amount of them also experience this problem.
When filling the fuel tank on my 2005 Jeep Wrangler, the tank 'spits' the fuel out of the filler neck as it nears the top. The problem started just recently. But the amount of fuel spilled is getting larger with each fill up.
After having my Jeep for 3 1/2 years, every time I fill up my gas tank (no matter what gas station) the automatic shut off does not work on the pump and large amounts of gas spill out everywhere. It did not do this for the first 3 1/2 years of owning the vehicle. Numerous other people on the internet are experiencing the same issue and it's believed to be the roll over check valve in the tank being bad. . Read more...
Every single time I fill my Jeep up with gasoline it spits back at me. I have to stand back while filling the tank and gauge approximately how much gas I am low so I can predict when to slow down the pump, just to soften the amount of gas that is spit back. This only limits the amount that spits back, it does not stop it entirely. Half of the time I end up wet with gasoline.
The design of the fuel tank in the Wrangler unlimited edition made from 2004 to 2006 causes it to hold an air bubble and blow a large amount of gas out of the filler spout when putting fuel in. This happens every time the Jeep is filled up with gas. These spills are an environmental issue as well as a safety issue.
