I drove to the gas station one morning filled my gas tank when I got home and parked on the drive way; I got off the Jeep I smelled gas when I looked back behind the Jeep I saw gas running down from the top of the gas tank.

Vehicle stopped running while driving locally. Steering and braking became difficult. Could have been dangerous at higher speed. Diagnosis by a local mechanic (superior collision & auto service, gardnerville, nv 775-782-2966) was an internal short in the fuel pump module which caused the fuel pump to stop operating and the engine to quit. The fuel pump module is located inside the fuel tank, in the direct presence of gasoline and gasoline vapor. Upon examining the fuel pump module the mechanic determined that the wiring leads to the pump unit had shorted against the module's aluminum housing due to chafing of the wiring insulation on the edge of the housing. They and I believe that if this short had caused a spark it could have ignited the fuel in the tank, causing an explosion or fire. I have owned this vehicle since new and this part had never been serviced or replaced. It was as installed at the factory. To correct this the mechanic installed a new fuel pump module. He said the wiring on the replacement module appears to have been routed more carefully to avoid this problem. I have the faulty module in my possession.
My 2004 Jeep Wrangler unlimited has 94,000 miles and recently started to spill fuel during refueling. Wile pumping gas the pump auto shut off wont kick in.
My 2004 Jeep Wrangler unlimited keeps overflowing with fuel at the pump. Whether the Jeep is filled from empty or partially full it does not matter. Fuel keeps spitting out of the filler neck once the Jeep is full. I am tired of getting fuel all down the side of the Jeep, on the ground, and on myself. Something needs to be done about this.
