36 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 01/26/2011

37 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 01/25/2011

When fueling my Jeep the and auto shut off at the pump stops a fair amount of fuel comes spilling out and runs down the side of my vehicle. This is a danger as there is exposed fuel on my vehicle and the ground. This is a waste of my money and a risk to the environment as the spill is on the concrete. When rain or washed this fuel will be introduced into the water system. Also the danger is obvious that there is raw fuel flowing down the side of my vehicle.

When fueling, the automatic shut-off has started shutting off too late, resulting in a fuel spill every time = fire hazard plus paint damage. Multiple gas stations, multiple pumps, different temperatures. The incident date reflects the most recent fill-up, where I started searching for a solution. Searched on-line, and have read that this is a problem that is common with this make, model and model year. (unfortunately, I am just past the 3-year warranty period).

Gas overflows from filler cap while refueling. The last 2 times I have refueled, the pumps have failed to autostop and gasoline has overflowed out of the fillercap.
