| Description of the problem | Vehicle now since date of initial occurrence spews fuel back out of filler neck when fueling. Spilt fuel launches out from trapped pressure in tank and covers the ground and side of vehicle. It also splashes on operator but i usually stay back if i can help it. I have tried different gas stations but find the station is not a factor in this issue. It also doesn't matter if i stop the pump manually or allow the mechanical feature of the pump stop the fueling process. The jeep did not have this problem when new. |
