Gas tank filler overflows or sprays fuel when tank is filled. Issue is well documented and has been voluntarily recalled for vehicles model year 2007 and newer. Issue is caused by failing valve in filler hose due to high concentrations of ethanol in fuel.

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.

Every fuel fill up the gas burps back up the fill hose and all over the side of the Jeep and onto the ground. It will do this even when filling as slow as possible. This is not only annoying but of course wastes gas and creates a fire hazard and environmental contamination. Several other Jeep owners around here say their Wranglers do the same thing.

On Jan. 19th, 2012 my Jeep Wrangler unlimited rubicon edition (with auto tranny) caught on fire. Just prior to that the engine had cut off. I lost all power. My CO-worker indicated that the cars coming towards us were flashing their lights and honking their horns. I looked in the rear-view mirrow to see if there was someone behind me, and saw a trail of smoke from my Jeep. I had no dash warning lights indicating a problem, and according to the deputy sherriff, who was traveling towards me during the situation, the vehicle was already on fire. We drifted to the next pull off and jumped out of the vehicle, after putting it in park. I realized at that time that the vehicle was still moving forward, and had to jump back in to apply the parking brake to stop it from rolling down the street. My CO-worker said that there appeared to be something on fire under the hood, and I told him not to open it, so he went for help. I proceeded to remove my work and hunting gear. I managed to get my payroll checks, deposit checks, and my tool bag out of the vehicle before it was fully involved, both inside and out. As I reached into the back to grab my tool bag, I noticed that the front passenger comparment was already fully engulfed in flames. Neither of us was hurt, except for some smoke inhalation. I am thankful that I did not have my family with me, that we were not traveling down the interstate, or that I did not make it home and park the Jeep in the garage. From the time the Jeep shut off until it was fully engulfed in flames was approx. 45 seconds. In talking to me "off the record" the inspector from Jeep said that he believed that "due to the amount of blow-back damage the vehicle was already on fire while driving it, and that it was most likely a fuel line rupture issue. But he didn't want to formally state that until he was finished.

When refueling a significant quantity (estimated at 8 ounces or more) of gasoline is "spit back" or discharged from the fuel filler opening as the tank reaches full. This discharge produces a puddle of gasoline at least 24" in diameter and leaves the exterior and underside of the fender dripping with gasoline and depending on the filler hose configuration may soak the clothing of the person operating the pump. This event occurs every time the vehicle is refueled unless care is taken to stop adding fuel before the tank reaches full capacity. Clearly this creates a very dangerous, environmentally hazardous and potentially life threatening situation!!.

When fueling--once gas hose clicks off, gas belches out of the tank.

Every time I fill the gas tank of my Jeep fuel spits back. The dealer said it was normal, I do not believe this should happen. I recently read on line about many Jeeps doing the same thing. This has been happening for about one year. I purchased the vehicle new. It has never been in an accident, and is well maintained.

When filling the fuel tank, whether the hose nozzle is operated manually or automatically, gas spurts from the tank spraying out 18"-24". This happens consistently regardless of pumping speed/pressure, ambient temperature/weather conditions or brand of gasoline. I am concerned about safety issues regarding fire and fumes as well as damage to the vehicle's paint and plastic fenders. I have had clothing ruined by the spurting gasoline.

1. Fueling the vehicle. 2. When fuelling my 2006 Jeep Wrangler unlimited, gasoline will abruptly backflow out of the filler neck and spray all over as the tank gets close to being full. It happens so quickly and violently that the auto shutoff on the gas hose does not stop it. This will happen any time I attempt to fill the tank to full. Consequences: as a result, I have had gasoline sprayed all over me numerous times including getting it in my eyes. Also, gasoline gets all over the side of the vehicle and leaves puddles of gas on the ground creating a fire hazard. I must stop fuelling before the tank is full to prevent this from happening. Overall this is a life safety hazard and I feel it needs to be addressed.

My vehicle spills fuel out of the filler area every time I fill up. The fuel gets on me, the vehicle, and the ground. I have contacted Chrysler about the matter, and they advise me because I am outside the time frame for their TSB, any repairs would have to be paid by me. After thoroughly researching the matter, it seems this is a wide spread concern. Chrysler has addressed the issue for some, but not others because "we're outside the window". Please see your code #pe10032. Also, my vehicle consumes or burns oil at the rate of one quart per 1000 miles. Again, research shows this is another wide spread matter attributed to faulty motor construction of some 2007/2008 engines. Owners who have had the repair done under warranty found that on three pistons, ring gaps where in a line, the other three where close, all six oil expander rings and piston rods where installed upside down. Chrysler will address the matter only if you are still under warranty. I do not understand why the cost should be bared by the consumer when both matters are so common and wide spread as to indicate design flaws in the product. Why should I pay for their inability to build a component correctly?.

At the end of the pumping of gas, it spews out the fuel line and all over my Jeep and the ground. This seems like a safety and ecological issue. I have tried everything from pumping fast to slow, nozzle right side up to upside down, all the way in and half way out. Nothing stops the problem.

During fillup, fuel will eject out of the tank opening nearly every time. The gas stations pump will shut off when it detects a full tank, but about 1 second later gasoline will erupt out onto the Jeep's body, the filler hose, and sometimes myself. The only time it doesn't occur is when the filling station has the automatic shutoff sensitivity set more sensitive than is normal.

While driving down a dirt road, the connector that attaches the plastic fuel line coming out of the fuel tank to the metal line that runs to the engine compartment snapped in two, causing the vehicle to stop running fuel to be pumped onto the ground under the Jeep where it stopped. Damage was limited to the component involved, which will have to be replaced.

When adding fuel to the 2006 Jeep Wrangler either with an automatic shut off pump or by hand the fuel over sprays out of the nozzle hole when the tank becomes full. This happens at any speed you add fuel spilling gas all over the side of the vehicle, on the person adding the fuel, and all over the ground at the gas station. This most likely is caused but vacuum pressure not being released correctly by the fuel inlet hose and would be a design and manufacture flaw.

When filling the gas tank, the tank will overfill every time that the fuel hose handle is allowed to cut off automatically. Gas will then splash down the side of the Jeep and on to the ground.

While refueling vehicle, when full tank condition is reached, with nozzle correctly inserted into fuel filler, liquid fuel squirts from fuel filler hose onto vehicle fender, ground and person filling tank. As time went on, condition worsened and at curren time, fuel nozzle at station can only be held open half way or an automatic nozzle shutoff occurs, regardless of tank level. Fuel spillage happens at every refueling stop, regardless of nozzle flow position, when full tank condition is reached.

The fuel tank overflows when filling at the fuel pump. Fuel tank ventilation hose problem. Environmental, safety, and fire hazard.

Cracked fuel line. Fuel leak resulted in potential for a vehicle fire/explosion and enviormental damage.

Hi my complaint is that when my vehicle is started there is a strong scent of fuel. This smell continues until the vehicle warms up then it ceases. I also get approximately 80 miles less to the tank on gas mileage. I have talked to numerous persons of whom own Jeeps, 2000 or newer and they had the same problem. Most of these were noticed while still under factory warranty, so the problems were simply fixed. Essentially they were given a new gas tank and fuel lines to fix the problem. I would just like to put out there that there is a strong smell of fuel which could lead to a very serious problem. Please let me know if anyone else has complained of this or had any problems of this kind. Have a wonderful weekend. Kevin champaigne.
