| Description of the problem | I purchased my vehicle used in september of 2011 with 27k miles on it and every time i fill up my gas tank i end up with gasoline overflow. Basically, i stick the gas nozzle in and when it is automatically finished, some gasoline spits back out of the tank all over the car, the ground and at times myself. This has happened every time, regardless of gas station or what state i am in (indiana, illinois and kentucky). The only solution is the manually pump the gas and estimate when it is almost full and stop. This is hardly practical and should be fixed. I see that the issue has been acknowledged by a simple google. Com search but only for the 2007-2008 jeep wranglers. Mine is a 2009 with the same exact issue. |
