DURING FUELING, WHEN THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY STOPS THE FLOW OF GASOLINE , FUEL SURGES BACK THROUGH THE FILLER TUBE AND VIGOROUSLY SPLASHES OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ANYTHING OR PERSON WITHIN 2 TO 3 FEET OF THE FUEL FILLER. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED AND HAS DRENCHED THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE FROM THE WAIST DOWN WITH GASOLINE ON TWO OCCASIONS. HAS SPILLED FUEL ON EVERY FILLUP (AT LEAST ONE CUP), DESPITE PRECAUTIONS (SLOWING FILLING RATE). MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR

I HAVE TRIED TO FILL IT UP SLOW, ADJUST THE NECK OF THE FILLER, TAKEN MY JEEP TO A MECHANIC, ALL TO NO AVAIL. IT OCCURS EVERYTIME I GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK IF I LET IF FILL COMPLETELY UP. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS THE GAS TANK ITSELF. GASOLINE SPRAYING FROM MY FILLER IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER JEEP CORP. PLEASE CONSIDER THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR
