| Description of the problem | In the past month the vehicle has begun to "spit up" gasoline when filling up at the service station. Whenever i fill the tank to full and the fill nozzle automatically cuts off, a good amount of gasoline comes up through the filler neck spilling out onto the ground. Various jeep owners have encountered the same issue and have posted it on the net those that have sought to have the problem remedied have usually had a new tank installed and/or some sort of emissions valve replaced. My vehicle is out of warranty and my dealer will not even look at it without me paying a 'diagnosis' fee. Furthermore i cannot afford to pay for a new gasoline tank on a vehicle that's only 3 years old and has 27,300 miles! I have resorted to only filling my tank 3/4 of the way. I feel this presents various safety issues since there is a significant amount of gasoline spillage presenting a dangerous situation at the pump. |
