Description of the problem	2005 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited - when fueling my vehicle at a gas station and reaching the "full" level gas spills out onto the vehicle and anything close by because of an inefficient design in the two pressure tubes on the fuel tank. This is a known issue with jeep wrangler tj/lj models amongst the jeeping communities but no action has ever been taken to address this by any agency or company. There are significant numbers of jeep wranglers owners reporting this problem but no action has ever been taken because as of yet no resulting loss of life or significant harm has occurred. I have personally experienced this issue at almost every occasion where i had to stop and fuel my vehicle. It has occurred at both older gas stations without spill resistant nozzles and gas stations with the newer spill resistant pressure nozzles. I believe this is due to the design of the jeep gas tank having one of the two pressure tubes involving an inner tube that extends several inches into the tank to attempt to equalize pressure which actually creates an air imbalance that allows for fuel to surge back up the spout during refueling when the fuel flow into the tank is stopped.
