| Description of the problem | Every time i fill the fuel tank on my 2006 jeep wrangler it splashes fuel out upon reaching full. This is not just a little fuel, but a lot. It surges out all down the vehicle and onto the ground. I've contacted my dealer several times about this issue and they say it's a known problem with my type of vehicle and there currently is no fix. They suggest not filling the tank completely full. This is hard to accomplish because there is no way to tell when the tank is getting full. This is a dangerous and environmentally unfriendly problem that needs to be addressed! |
