| Description of the problem | When filling the fuel tank, the fuel overflows and spills gas on the ground. This is a defect in the overflow valve in the gas tank that causes pressure to build when the tank is near completely full during a fill-up. Many other jeep owners have had the same problem according to the online jeepforum. Com, wranglerforum. Com and others. A recall is necessary to prevent possible fires and explosions. Many other jeep owners have experienced this problem with both tj and jk wranglers. Some have replaced the fuel overflow valve and solved the problem. |
