Four problems related to other fuel system pump have been reported for the 2008 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle was stationary at fuel pump with the fuel tank half full. Began refueling and had an immediate back splash /spewing of fuel. Estimate at least a half gallon was spilled onto the vehicle, the ground and on my person.
I started smelling gas around my Jeep . I took it to the dealer . They did the chek valve recall . Gas leak still presisted . So I took it back to the dealer . They told me that the way the tank is designed that it weres the tank thin on top and starts to leak . It also started to leak around the fuel pump area they said due to dirt . This was a 9 hundred 5 dollar fix that I feal is not my fault the Jeep is garage kept and only has 82000 miles on it . Thats crazy to have to replace a tank with that many miles .
Gas overflows and spills out during every fueling. I think it is an inlet check valve issue. Gas tank also leaks gas around the fuel pump seal. Smells like gas outside the vehicle.
Very often, when I fill up my gas tank, it spits gas out. Sometimes, the gas sprays out so far that it wets my clothing, the fuel pump stand, and the surrounding area. I am concerned that this can one day cause a fire and is a health and environmental hazard. I have tried to pump at different pumps and at different speeds but the problem persists.
