Gas Tank

[MudMan]

My 98 TJ used to spit out fuel, I replaced the filler hose and that resolved the problem. I also had an issue with the cap not making a good seal and posting a CEL code. Replaced the cap. Then I melted the tank, don't do that. :Cry:

There are no baffles in the gas tank. That is someone blowing smoke. I have a gas tank that would work for you that i will give you if you think you need a different tank.

X2 What code is it throwing? With the age of the vehicle and the newer ethanol fuels there is a good chance of some bad vent and vacuum lines for the emissions system. Only hard part of this fix is dropping the tank to acces the vent lines.

eh, just giving you crud from when you were ankle deep in foot well oil from the car show :)

ah...I had forgotten about that one. Still can't believe they had run the front diff vent into the cab.

It's possible you overfilled with such force it pushed some fuel into the vapor canister and it's reading a code??? Might check that.
What is the code itself?

Oil on the other hand... :)

The same thing happened to me on my 2016 ford and it was the pump.

My 99 TJ doesn't have that issue either.

Kinda seems like hit or miss at times, I know people with JK's that spit fuel out too.

Ok, my Tacoma spit out fuel once too, it was the pump pressure that caused it.

97-02 didn't have the fuel spillage issues due to different design in emissions.

My 2000 TJ has never had that issue at a pump.

If it's throwing codes, something must have got messed up, maybe it needs to be reset? Jeep's are known for spitting out fuel, but not like that, could have been a bad pump? Last year I replaced my fuel filler hose with a GM model that has the baffle built into it, since then I've never had fuel spill out when filling up.

I agree with the others, see if it does it again first.
