Tank Mounting problems of the 2006 Jeep Wrangler

While filling up the gas tank, my Jeep will frequently spit the fuel back at me when it approaches being full. This almost always results in a significant amount of fuel left on the ground and inside the gas cap area. The gas will also spray all over the vehicle's operator and their clothing. This is definitely a potential fire hazard. A quick search on Jeepforum. Com reveals that this is a well-known issue among Jeep owners. I've found the following threads that reference this exact problem. . Read more...

Whenever I add gasoline (from any station), a considerable amount of fuel will slosh back out of the filler right before the pump kicks off. Checking with the dealer and other sources, it's a known problem. However, Jeep is only concerned with fixing the 2007 and newer jk models. Their fix for those models is an extension of the warranty. My other sources say that it's rampant in years prior as well. The dealer service manager says it's the "rollover valve" that goes bad. The valve isn't repairable. The entire fuel tank needs replaced.

When filling vehicle gasoline sprays out of the tank in large amounts. It sprays out with such force it will cover your legs if you are standing near by.

Multiple instances of gas tank in my 2006 Jeep Wrangler unlimited overflowing, due to possible check valve malfunction and/or improper design from factory. When filling ones gas tank, you would expect the pump to stop once the tank has reached its capacity. However due to a faulty in-tank check valve, the pump never gets the pressure change as a signal to stop the flow. Hence, every time I fill up I end up spilling a not-insignificant amount of fuel on the ground. This issue is absolutely not operator error, it is a known defect by Jeep/Chrysler.

I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler unlimited, and almost every time I fill up the gas tank it overflows, often spraying a significant amount of fuel before the pump shuts off. This did not happen when it was new, but has been happening off and on, getting progressively worse, for the past 3 years. I believe this presents both a fire hazard and an environmental hazard, and I know that many other Wrangler owners have observed the same problem.

When refueling my 2006 Wrangler Jeep gas surges out of the tank prior to the pump shutting off. I have not measured the amount spilled but it is enough to create approximately a 24-36" diameter wet spot on the ground. This happens every time I fill my vehicle no matter which filling station I use. This seems like a significant safety and environmental hazard considering it splashes on my arm and clothing if I am holding onto the pump handle or standing within arms reach of the nozzle and the spilled fuel is becoming a ground or water contaminate one way or another as it is soaked up or washes away.

Just purchased a used 06 Jeep Wrangler in perfect condition with 16000+ miles, took it to fill it up and gas ran out on my first fill up. Now I have to estimate how much gas I need and when I get the that amount, I slowly fill the tank to full. (8/100.

1. When filling gas tank at station, fuel sprays and spills out of filler neck when tank is full. 2. This happens every time I fill up and can result in quite a large amount of gas being spilled sometimes. It began happening about 9 months ago. 3. Nothing, Jeep says it is not a safety issue and the vehicle is out of warranty.

Almost every time I fill my Jeep with gas it overflows. A good amount of gas spills out of the gas tank before the pump shuts off.

Gas spills, splatters, shoots violently when tank is full. It occurs every time I fill up at any gas station. Occurs whether I hand control fillup or whether I rely on auto shut off. Hand fillup does seem to reduce the amount of excess gasoline spewing from tank. Gas ends up on my paint, plastic, the fueling station ground, and often my clothing and/or shoes. Very frustrating, concern for fuel sparks.

06 Jeep Wrangler rubicon tank overflow/splash back when refueling. At every fill up regardless of pump handle style, angle or depth of pump nozzle or station location, a large amount of fuel splashes back at the point when it should cut off. It douses me and my vehicle and the ground with gasoline. Problem began appx 2 years ago at roughly 40k miles and has been continuous to date. No action has been taken to resolve this problem because no specific solution has been found.

When filling the gas tank a significant amount of gas spills out simultaneous with the first shut-off of the gasoline pump. Multiple different pumps at multiple different gas stations of multiple different brands do it consistently -- I can no longer rember the last time this did not happen. Manually slowing the delivery rate down to 1% of the normal delivery rate as the tank approaches full can reduce, but only sometimes eliminate the condition. I believe this is an environmental hazard due to the spilled gas. I believe this is a fire risk, as well as a risk to personal property from the splashing gas. I'm told that this is due to a bad valve in the fuel tank that was designed to stop this condition, but that valve sticks. My vehicle has never had any gas over 10% ethanol (unless some gas stations. . Well, you know), and certainly not often (unless, of course, gas stations lie a lot).

Fuel spits out of filler neck when pump shuts off at full tank spilling a considerable amount of fuel.

When filling the fuel tank on my 06 rubicon unlimited Wrangler. Before the pump automatically stops pumping the gas will spill out from the filler tube. The amount of fuel spillage can be up to about a quart. This happens every time I try to fill the gas tank. According to the dealer the only fix is to replace the entire fuel tank. This repair would no be covered under warranty. I believe having fuel rush out of the filling nozzle while pumping gas is a very dangerous problem.

I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler unlimited 2 door that every time I fill the gas tank up at the pump it releases a substanitial amount of gasoline through the inlet as it is turning the pump off. This occurs every time I fill my tank and is very dangerous seeing as I get fuel on my skin and then have to get in the vehicle w/ my 4year old daughter. I am not sure what to do to correct the failure.

1. Empty gas tank. Then went to fill said empty tank. 2. Jeep overflows every time I fill the tank. Splashes fuel down the side of the Jeep and onto the ground. 3. I have held the nozzle at different angles and different depths in the fuel tank filler neck but all lead to the same results with no varying in fuel overflow amounts. Mentioned to Jeep dealership, no problem must be my fault, discussed with fellow Jeep owners and searched online all to no avail.

During gas fill ups, gasoline will shoot out of the fill nozzle when the tank reaches full. This causes gasoline to spill to the ground. The amount varies from a dribble to about a cup. Slowing the fill rate towards the end of the fill will generally prevent the spillage but is not guaranteed. This is an every fill up occurrence.

Gas tank overflows on every fill - no matter which gas station, pump, etc (all over the east coast) the auto shutoff fires only after a cup or more of gas is spilled. This has resulted in me being covered in gasoline repeatedly, not to mention the amount of gas spilled to the ground each time it is filled. (even filling extremely slowly results in a spill. ).

Every time I try to fill the gas tank up to full, the fuel will overflow out of the filler neck. Also, when I pump gas, the fuel will often backflow into the pump, causing it to shut off prematurely (about every 10 seconds, regardless of amount of gas in tank). This has been an ongoing problem ever since I first purchased the vehicle. My only choice is to never fill my gas tank all the way, and pump the gas slowly.

I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler x, there is a fault from the factory gas tank, which when I fill my tank with fuel it does not allow the pump to auto shut off, and spews a decent amount of gas from the vehicle. This happens when ever I fill up. I have not found a way to correct this issue, and the only thing that seems to be happening to fix it, is replacing the tank with an oe style tank that has the same faulty valve inside it.
