| Description of the problem | My 2005 jeep wrangler spews gas out the filler every time i fill it up. This started around 30,000 miles and has been doing it since. Fortunately this has not caused any serious problem yet but spilling gas every time i fill up is not only a waste but a hazard to the environment and a dangerous situation. This is not a lone incident, many reports of this exact issue have come up on internet forums and other jeep owners of similar years who i know. People are even posting videos of it on u tube! From my limited research this appears to be a faulty valve in the gas tank, which dealerships are not covering under warranty. |
