Fuel Pump problems of the 2006 Jeep Wrangler

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that when refueling, the fuel pump would not shut off and caused fuel to spill out from the fuel tank. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 31,000.

Jeep Wrangler rubicon unlimited fuel overflows everytime at the pump. Does not matter where I fill up or how I put the nozzel in the tank. Fuel pump shuts off and split seconds later about a cup of fuel will spit out, about 1 to 2 feet and run down the body. If you were standing in the wrong spot it would be a real mess. I just purchased this vehicle used and called the previous owner - he said he bought it with 8000 miles on it and it has done it since it was new.

When pumping fuel into the vehicle when the tank gets full the fuel pump doesn't shut off, instead the fuel sprays out all over the side of the vehicle and on the ground.

When fueling up, many times the fuel pump will shut off and the fuel will spill out of the filler neck. I've tried slowing down the flow of fuel just prior to a full tank with no change. It happens a lot, but not every time. I've tried angling my vehicle with the filler neck down hill and up but it randomly spills fuel. I've tried waiting once coming to a stop prior to turning off the engine with no rhyme or reason to when it will spill fuel.

Fuel spills out each time I fill my tank. Fuel pump kicks off as designed, but is followed by 2-3 cups of gas spilling out with force that covers the pump handle, side of vehicle, ground under vehicle, and anyone standing too close.

While fueling vehicle at gas station, fuel splashes out before fuel pump shuts off at fill up. Regardless of gas station or speed at which pump is set at fuel always spills unto vehicle and ground. It is apparent that the fuel tank's roll over check valve is at fault.

The problem started with gas shooting out of the filler neck prior to the fuel pump automatically shutting off. This was repeated at every fill up at numerous gas stations. For the past 8 months I can not fill the fuel tank without the fuel nozzle repeatedly shutting off. I can only add fuel at an extremely slow pace or not at all. It has become so bad that I now carry a gas can, it's faster to fill the can then pour it in the tank! tt.

During fueling, whenthe fuel pump nozzle automatically stops the flow of gasoline , fuel surges back through the filler tube and vigorously splashes out on the side of the vehicle and anything or person within 2 to 3 feet of the fuel filler. This occurs every time the fuel tank is filled and has drenched the person filling the vehicle from the waist down with gasoline on two occasions. Has spilled fuel on every fillup (at least one cup), despite precautions (slowing filling rate). Manufacturer and dealer have done nothing to correct this problem, this happens almost every time I fill up.

I ran out of gas, I pulled into a gas station, I filled my tank. As my tank became full, I expected the pump to automatically stop, as they are designed to do. Instead, I watched fuel spew out of my filler neck, and had to stop the pump myself. I went inside the gas station to tell the attendant that their pump must be faulty. They explained to me that they have never received that complaint before, so I left. The next time I needed fuel, I went to a different gas station, and experienced the same problem. I then went three fill-ups with no issue. On the fourth re-fueling episode, it happened again, at a totally different station. Therefore, I believe the problem is in the Jeep's filler neck, not the fuel pumps I was using. The consequences of this problem are obvious, it is a fire hazard, it spews gasoline all over the vehicle's paint, and all over your legs and shoes, depending on where you are standing. Also, it is an environmental issue.

Fuel spray everytime I fill the vehicle. Fuel pump does not sense tank is full and sprays fuel everywhere. Widely reported by fellow Jeep Wrangler owners across the country. Chrysler denies problem while replacing some tanks with new tank that continues to use faulty design. Currently there is no aftermarket help or support for this issue and certainly none from Chrysler or Jeep.
