| Description of the problem | I have purchased a used 2006 jeep wrangler from a local dealership around two years ago, and within the past year i have noticed gas gushes out of my fuel tank every time i get fuel. At first i thought it was the gas attendant, as it is illegal in nj to pump your own fuel, however this is now occurring everytime. I am worried my paint will become ruined or my car might catch on fire if it is too hot. I also do not have the means to pump my own gas and i don't need this problem to cause more issues down the road since the spilled gas has already discolored my stock fender flare. I know i am not the only one with this problem and it needs to be looked into because this is a safety issue, and once the gas spills over making everything on the inside reek of fumes. |
