| Description of the problem | Multiple instances of gas tank in my 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited overflowing, due to possible check valve malfunction and/or improper design from factory. When filling ones gas tank, you would expect the pump to stop once the tank has reached its capacity. However due to a faulty in-tank check valve, the pump never gets the pressure change as a signal to stop the flow. Hence, every time i fill up i end up spilling a not-insignificant amount of fuel on the ground. This issue is absolutely not operator error, it is a known defect by jeep/chrysler. |
