| Description of the problem | 2005 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited overflow fuel onto the ground (more than 1 cup) at every fill up. The tank also stops short of the expected volume. Vehicle has 47k miles and is past warranty. As stated, this happens at every fillup. The evaporative control filling units (like found in houston) have a further issue of not operating faster than the first 'click'. The safety and environmental issue is directly tied to the release (sometimes violent) of fuel from the filler neck onto the ground or bystanders. Watershed will push this raw fuel directly into storm drains, and in this area, into our drinking water aquafer recharge zones. |
