Consumer Description

EVERY TIME I FILL MY JEEP, IT OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS FUEL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND THE GROUND BEFORE THE RULE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH EVERY FILL UP AT ANY FUEL STATION I USE. IT WILL SOMETIMES OVERFILL AND SPILL ENOUGH OUT AS TO NECESSITATE THE USE OF A FUEL SPILL CLEANUP KIT AND I'VE HAD SEVERAL SHOES AND PANTS RUINED FROM SPOUTING FUEL. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL COMPLAIN OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM, BUT A FIRE SAFETY PROBLEM AS WELL. IT CANNOT BE SAFE TO HAVE A SYSTEM THAT OVERFILLS AND SPILLS GASOLINE EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU FILL YOUR VEHICLE CREATING A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FIRE.
