| Description of the problem | I am the owner of a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara with 56,000 miles. I purchased the vehicle in december of 2009 used. The first week of owning the vehicle, i went to the gas station to fill the tank. I placed the nozzle in the filler tube and set the pump to auto fill. Once the tank was filled completely, the pump clicked off and the fuel tank then "burped" about 1 pint of fuel out. At times, the fuel comes out vigorously in a spray making it even more flammable and covering me and the vehicle. I have gone to many different gas stations since and have the problem every time i fill the tank. The problem also occurs when i hold the pump and try to limit the fuel flow. Here is a video of the issue (not my jeep) http://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=zouvokeolo8 there are hundreds, if not thousands of people with the same issue. The only dealer recommend fix is to replace the fuel tank which is a costly repair for what i fell is a safety concern. |
