| Description of the problem | When i go to gas station and fill up my jeep gas overflows out the tank fill tube after pump shuts off. At first it only happened occasionally with minimal spillage. Now it happens every time i fill up!!!! It makes a giant mess all over the fender, bumper, and the ground and me!!!! I have tried multiple gas stations, different settings on the nozzle(slow, med, fast). I have stood there and pumped by hand pushing nozzle firmly against filler tube to help prevent the fuel blow back. Nothing works!!! The filler tube or gas tank is defective!!!! This wastes gas every time i fill up,costing me money!! Its ruining the finish on my bumper, fender, and mud flap. Most importantly its gasoline running all over the place including me!!!! Can you say fire hazard!!! This should be recalled by jeep and fixed asap!!! |
