Two problems related to fuel hoses lines/piping and fittings have been reported for the 2008 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Had been smelling raw gas inside and outside vehicle for several months. Finally tracked down to fuel line coming from gas tank. Plastic elbow under driver seat (rhd postal Jeep) has pinhole and has been squirting a fine stream of fuel onto bottom of vehicle. If it had squirted on exhaust or any other hot surface, it would surely cause a fire. Wonder if any other elbows have failed on other vehicles, and also if there are any fuel line elbows in the engine compartment? could be explanation for engine fires that are being investigated. Local Jeep dealer had replaced fuel tank on 10-19-11 due to a recall about fuel spilling out of filler tube after fuel handle clicked off. Never noticed gas smell before the tank was replaced.
When fueling--once gas hose clicks off, gas belches out of the tank.
