| Description of the problem | I had bought a jeep wrangler with approx 45000 miles. Right around the 55000 the check engine light came on and then i started having gas blow out of the gas tank during refueling. The jeep now has 85000 and still has the gas blow back. I had taken it to a jeep dealer and the mention that it needed a smoke test. I found that i had a major evap leak in the fuel system, i had a mechanic replace the fuel hoses. After the repairs. I still have the fuel blow back. I live in the va beach area, where fuel on the ground causes an environment problem especially when i fuel on norfolk naval base. I had fuel sprayed on me and also cautioned the wife, who already had it splash on her face. Luckily, did not spray in the eyes. When pumping gas the automatic shutoff does not kick in fast enough before blow back occurs. It happens with out warning. Is there a resolution to this issue with the jeep wranglers? |
