2005 Jeep WRANGLER Fuel System, Gasoline Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	849969
Internal NHTSA #	10393182
Manufacurer	CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Brand	JEEP
Model	WRANGLER
Model Year	2005
File date	08/02/11
Component	FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When filling up the vehicle's fuel tank, an air pocket is trapped at the top of the tank. When the tank becomes full, this air pocket rushes towards the neck and out towards the person filling up the vehicle. Each time this occurs, fuel spews onto the side of the vehicle and sometimes sprays outward onto the pump handle and me. This is dangerous not only for the environment, but for me filling up the vehicle because it has the potential to get into my eyes/face when the fuel and air bubble rush out. I took the vehicle in to the local jeep dealership and another reputable mechanic, and both said they could put a new tank on, but that may not fix the problem because the tanks on the wranglers have a manufacturing defect that causes this problem. All sensors and vents on my tank are working properly. When the fuel tank becomes full, the pump is shut off as it is supposed to, but about half a second afterwards is when the air and fuel spew out. I am not letting the vehicle run while filling up, nor am i trying to top the tank off. This is a defect in the fuel tank of this vehicle and this problem needs to be addressed by jeep. I just purchased the vehicle, and this happens whenever i fill up. I do not know if this happened to the previous owners or not, there are multiple forums on the internet that state that there are a large number of wrangler owners that are having this problem.
