| Description of the problem | Jeep jk wrangler unlimited with passenger side mounted fuel tank and drivers side mounted fuel filler neck has approx 4 ft hose between filler neck and tank. Tank vent return hose to filler neck and filler hose are inadequate engineered causing fuel to back splash every single time you fill the vehicle with fuel and allow the auto shutoff on the pump handle to stop the fuel flow. This problem exist when filling vehicle when it is turned off and when it is running. It is worse when running. In 6 years and 90,000 miles we have spilled hundreds of gallons of fuel at gas stations and we have even had this problem with a 2010 rental jeep of the same model. A recall needs put in place before a fire occurs at a gas station. |
