I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND NOTICED THAT WHEN FILLING THE TANK IT ACTUALLY SPLASHES FUEL OUT OF THE FILL TUBE EVERY TIME THE GAS STATION NOZZLE CLICKS OFF WHEN FULL. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS JEEP FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO MICHIGAN AND USED SEVERAL DIFFERENT STYLES OF NOZZLES FROM GAS STATIONS IN MANY STATES. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SLOW THE FUEL DELIVERY, ANGLE THE NOZZLE DIFFERENTLY, STOP EARLY AND RESUME FILLING. THE RESULT IS ALWAYS THE SAME. ENOUGH FUEL TO RUN DOWN A SQUARE FOOT AREA ON MY CAR AND LEAVE A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND WILL ALWAYS SHOOT OUT UNDER PRESSURE. I END UP WITH GAS ON MY CAR, ON ME AND ON THE GROUND. THIS CAN NOT BE CONSIDERED SAFE FOR MY WELL BEING OR THE ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE MY GAS TANK, A $1200 REPAIR, TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
