PURCHASED A 06 JEEP UNLIMITED (LJ) WITH THE 4.0 ENGINE. WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE TANK BECOMES FULL AND GAS THEN SPILLS OUT THE FILL TUBE. THIS IS EVERYTIME YOU FILL UP THE JEEP. CHRYSLER SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THAT THERE IS NO FIX OR REAL CONCERN BY THEM FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THE WASTE OF GAS, THE ENVIRONMENT HAZARD BY SPILLING GAS, THE POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLES PAINT AND THE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I PURCHASED THIS JEEP IN 05-09. I UNDERSTAND THAT NUMEROUS OTHER JEEP LJ'S HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A WEAK VENT SPRING. *TR

LIKE MANY OTHER 2006 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, MY GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY TANK. THE MECHANIC AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP (SUPPOSEDLY AN EXPERT IN THE FIELD) DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, AND I STILL HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

GAS TANK OVERFILLS DURING FILLUP...AUTOMATIC GAS SHUT OFF FAILS AND GAS SPILLS ON THE GROUND (ABOUT 1 CUP OR SO EACH INSTANCE). THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME, HARMING THE ENVIRONMENT AND PRESENTING A FIRE DANGER. OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ON JEEPFORUM.COM HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE FAULT APPARENTLY IS THE ROLL OVER CHECK VALVE, AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE GAS TANK. SO THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE TANK. BUT THE FAULTY PART IS ALSO REPLACED IN THIS PROCESS. *TR
