Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problems of the 2006 Jeep Wrangler

Gas tank filler overflows or sprays fuel when tank is filled. Issue is well documented and has been voluntarily recalled for vehicles model year 2007 and newer. Issue is caused by failing valve in filler hose due to high concentrations of ethanol in fuel.

Every fuel fill up the gas burps back up the fill hose and all over the side of the Jeep and onto the ground. It will do this even when filling as slow as possible. This is not only annoying but of course wastes gas and creates a fire hazard and environmental contamination. Several other Jeep owners around here say their Wranglers do the same thing.

When filling the fuel tank, whether the hose nozzle is operated manually or automatically, gas spurts from the tank spraying out 18"-24". This happens consistently regardless of pumping speed/pressure, ambient temperature/weather conditions or brand of gasoline. I am concerned about safety issues regarding fire and fumes as well as damage to the vehicle's paint and plastic fenders. I have had clothing ruined by the spurting gasoline.

1. Fueling the vehicle. 2. When fuelling my 2006 Jeep Wrangler unlimited, gasoline will abruptly backflow out of the filler neck and spray all over as the tank gets close to being full. It happens so quickly and violently that the auto shutoff on the gas hose does not stop it. This will happen any time I attempt to fill the tank to full. Consequences: as a result, I have had gasoline sprayed all over me numerous times including getting it in my eyes. Also, gasoline gets all over the side of the vehicle and leaves puddles of gas on the ground creating a fire hazard. I must stop fuelling before the tank is full to prevent this from happening. Overall this is a life safety hazard and I feel it needs to be addressed.

During fillup, fuel will eject out of the tank opening nearly every time. The gas stations pump will shut off when it detects a full tank, but about 1 second later gasoline will erupt out onto the Jeep's body, the filler hose, and sometimes myself. The only time it doesn't occur is when the filling station has the automatic shutoff sensitivity set more sensitive than is normal.

While driving down a dirt road, the connector that attaches the plastic fuel line coming out of the fuel tank to the metal line that runs to the engine compartment snapped in two, causing the vehicle to stop running fuel to be pumped onto the ground under the Jeep where it stopped. Damage was limited to the component involved, which will have to be replaced.

When adding fuel to the 2006 Jeep Wrangler either with an automatic shut off pump or by hand the fuel over sprays out of the nozzle hole when the tank becomes full. This happens at any speed you add fuel spilling gas all over the side of the vehicle, on the person adding the fuel, and all over the ground at the gas station. This most likely is caused but vacuum pressure not being released correctly by the fuel inlet hose and would be a design and manufacture flaw.

While refueling vehicle, when full tank condition is reached, with nozzle correctly inserted into fuel filler, liquid fuel squirts from fuel filler hose onto vehicle fender, ground and person filling tank. As time went on, condition worsened and at curren time, fuel nozzle at station can only be held open half way or an automatic nozzle shutoff occurs, regardless of tank level. Fuel spillage happens at every refueling stop, regardless of nozzle flow position, when full tank condition is reached.

The fuel tank overflows when filling at the fuel pump. Fuel tank ventilation hose problem. Environmental, safety, and fire hazard.
