| Description of the problem | When filling the gas tank, it will overflow, spilling gas on the side of the jeep wrangler, the tire and the ground. It seems like the flapper valve in the filler neck isn't preventing spills. It happens everytime i've filled up, so i try not to fill the tank anymore. I believe it's a serious safety and fire hazard. One spill was so big, the gas station employees had to use kitty litter to soak it all up |
