Upon refilling my 2005 Jeep Wrangler unlimited with gasoline when the gas pump shuts off there is a blow back of roughly 1 quart of gasoline. This happens each and every time I re-fuel and each time it is roughly the same amount of blow back.

Every single time I fill my Jeep up with gasoline it spits back at me. I have to stand back while filling the tank and gauge approximately how much gas I am low so I can predict when to slow down the pump, just to soften the amount of gas that is spit back. This only limits the amount that spits back, it does not stop it entirely. Half of the time I end up wet with gasoline.

Every single time I put gas in the Jeep, it overflows. Even if I listen carefully and try to stop it before it is completely full. It sprays gas all over me, the parking lot and the Jeep. This is very dangerous and I'm afraid of a fire.

Wrangler 6-cyl

When filling up the Jeep with gas this morning, fuel shot out of the Jeep about 3 feet and also ran down the side of the Jeep right when the fuel pump shut off. Had I been standing in front of the fuel tank, I would have been covered in gas to include my face. This is a known problem and Chrysler needs to recall this! this is not only a safety problem, but a hazmat problem as well.

Wrangler 4WD 6-cyl

  • miles
Every time during refueling the gas spits, or splashes out. This causes a significant amount of gasoline to be spilled on the vehicle and the ground. It is not only a waste, an environmental hazard, but a safety hazard. Please discuss the matter further with Jeep. I am not the only owner with this issue, and far many more owners have yet to report this problem.

Whenever I am filling up my Jeep it regularly overflows causing fuel to spill all over myself, vehicle, and ground. It typically spills for a few seconds until the pump shuts off but it is a hassle, fire hazard, and costly. I am aware of many other Jeep Wrangler owners that have this problem.

Wrangler 6-cyl

  • 10,400 miles
When I fill up the gas tank. The valve in the tank is stuck. So it will not automatically turn off the pump causing me to not know if it is full or not. Since there is no way to know when it is full it spills out if the tank and all over me the body of my car and ground. This is a well known complaint with all Wrangler in this model. Please help fix this.

I do not recall exactly when this issue began. But my 2005 Jeep Wrangler rubicon unlimited spills fuel every time I fill up the tank. The gas does not shut off when full and over a cup of fuel spills out. The dealer ship claims that they have never heard of such a problem on Jeep older than 2007.
