EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 94 YJ, GAS SPILLS OUT THE BACK OF IT. THE PUMP KICKS OFF BUT AS IT KICKS OFF IT SPILLS AND I HAVE TO CLEAN THE GAS RUNNING DOWN THE BACK OF THE JEEP. IT SEEMS TO ME THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BACK PRESSURE THAT KICKS OFF THE PUMP. I'M GUESSING THE FUEL COMPLETELY FILLS UP THE TUBE AND ONLY WHEN THE GAS HITS THE NOZZLE DOES IT SHUT OFF. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FILL MY TANK UP AND IS ALSO VERY UNSAFE TO DO SO, AS GAS SPILLING OUT THE BACK IS A FIRE HAZARD. IT SEEMS I'M NOT THE ONLY JEEP OWNER DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM. (HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F176/HAVE-FUEL-SPILL-PROBLEMS-LIKE-MANY-US-SUBMIT-COMPLAINT-FORCE-RECALL-974337/) SO HERE I AM FILING MY COMPLAINT, I HOPE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE. BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF BEING SOAKED IN GAS EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL MY TANK. *TR
