| Description of the problem | When filling the gas tank and on automatic shut off at the pump,the pump will shut off and then gas will almost shoot out of the filling tube. This happens on at any gas station and leaves gas all down the side of the jeep and on the ground. I now only get gas when the light comes on and i can guess on how much gas i need. At fill up, i put the pump to automatic shut off until i estimate i am 2 gallons short. I then finish off manually at the lowest flow rate. This is not a guarantee to work. |
