JK Fuel Overflow

http://www.jk-forum.com/showthread.php?144782-Fuel-Overflow-amp-NHTSA-About-Time

Above is info on the fuel overflow problem with some JKs. If you are experiencing this problem, please file a complaint, it takes 5 mins and there is a link in the above linked thread to file the complaint. The more complaints filed, the sooner we may be able to get this resolved. Mine started at approx 31,000-32,000 miles. For some of ya............it's just a matter of time, or mileage, should I write.

With the price of gas these days, each time I fill up now, regardless of how hard I try to "baby" the nozzle, or not fill up all the way, or cross my fingers, etc... I loose a good gallon or two; u do the math. It's literally regurgitating fuel, big freaking baby,................................the jeep, not me!

done

Didn't realize that some of us had issues with the fuel overflow problems I have been reading about.

I have started to experience it with my TJ. Started the last 60 days - 38K miles. Don't see how or why mileage would be an effect.

No matter how slowly or carefully I fill the tank - it always backs up, usually on my boot. So what is the cause?

This happened to me only once but that was because I wasn't paying attention.

Go figure

Might there be a vent that is clogged up?

I am having problems and Bobby's daughter just got a 07 4 door jeep and she is having troubles too.

I would not be surprised, Stacy, if you woke up one day to see Chrysler taking back your jeep.

Wyatt Arp Dodge in Seguin is now a Jeep dealer. My company spends lots-o-money with them. I am working on having a dealer that is "mod" friendly. I have spoken to some of their people, and they seem very receptive.

Its a Jeep thing.

My old JK was the only Jeep I ever owned that did not do this. My current TJ does it some, but most ALL of the CJ's did this.

Just thought I'd share this
