| Description of the problem | While at the pump the gas nozzle kicks off and then about a pint of fuel dumps out of the vehicle. This is widely known on the wranglers, with the oldest vehicle i've heard this happening to is from '98 and newest a 2009. Jeep redesigned the wrangler in '97 including the fuel system, so i'm sure there's a defect in the fuel system. Chrysler's answer is to just replace the tank which will eventually fail again. This can be a serious hazard and could easily cause a fire. One guy said it dumped fuel on his boots while another guy had fuel spray him from head to toe. Here is a few links from one forum showing the issue including a few videos (fast forward to the last 20 seconds) and many complaints about this issue. Http://www. Jeepforum.
