| Description of the problem | Every time i attempt to fill the gas tank on my 2005 jeep wrangler x fuel overflows at the point at which it should automatically shut off. On some occasions its a small amount, other times, its sprays out forcefully and gets all over me, my jeep, the ground, and anything else in the immediate area. It does not matter which gas station i fill up at, it happens everywhere. My only solution is to attempt to calculate how much i can put in manually without totally filling it up. Lots of guesswork involved, sometimes unsuccessfully. I see spraying a flammable liquid around in an unintended manner as a safety hazard. So far, jeep does not see it the same way.... |
