| Description of the problem | My gas tank over flows and gasoline gushes out every time i fill my gas tank at every gas station. The gasoline pump auto shut off valve does not activate until gasoline gushes out past the gas tank filler neck and into the plastic gas fill area. From there the gasoline continues to leak onto the painted body of my jeep. Notably, trying to insert the gasoline pump into all conceivable depths into the gasoline fuel filler neck has no effect on the gasoline gushing issue. This problem didn't start until my jeep hit about 40,000 miles on the odometer (i am the 1st owner). This leads me to believe something within the fuel filling system or possibly evap system is corroded, plugged up, or otherwise fouled as there is no exterior damage. This could create multiple dangerous situations both at the gas station and on the road. |
