| Description of the problem | Anytime i fill the gas tank, fuel explodes out of the filler before the gas hose clicks off. Causing gas to splash on myself, the ground and my vehicle. I believe its a defect in the jeeps flapper valve. Definitely dangerous and i'm surprised it hasn't been recalled yet as it could cause gas to be splashed in the eyes. |
