| Description of the problem | I have a 2008 jeep wrangler, 2 door. At around 30,000 miles, i started to experience gas overflow when filling up. When the pump is left to automatically shut off, it will and then gas will flow out of the fill up tube. It has been anywhere from shooting out to just running down the side of the jeep. I would guess at least a cup of gas. This happens at various fuel pumps and different stations. I contacted the dealer and they said they have never heard of such a thing and maybe it was the pump. I told them it had happened at several different pumps, but they would do nothing. I now have to guess when the tank is about filled and go the lowest flow setting on the pump handle. If i get this right, i don't get gas on me or all over the side of my jeep. Never had this problem when it was new and i think this is a safety hazard that should be fixed. |
