| Description of the problem | Every time i need to fill my 2005 jeep wrangler with gas it spills out of the nozzle and all over the ground right at the pump. This situation is extremely dangerous, bad for the environment and wasteful. No matter how the nozzle is held, what gas company i use or how slow i let it pump in the fuel seems to change the final outcome of a large slosh of gasoline gushing out onto the ground. As an added consequence, many gas stations don't even have the means or proper equipment to clean up this hazardous waste spill. I have seen nothing released and no fixes for this problem from jeep or any other company because apparently jeep does not feel that it is important enough, dangerous enough or even enough of a pain to their customers to offer a remedy. If it wasn't so dangerous to hold an electronic device while filling my vehicle, i'd happily send a video in of what it does when it reaches the top of the tank. |
