Every time that I get gas in my 2006 Jeep Wrangler I have problems. Several times the gas pump has not shut off when the tank is full resulting in gas pouring out. Usually the opposite happens, the gas pump shuts off long before the tank is full.

Inspect and make sure the vent line from the tank to the filler neck is clear and not kinked and the cannister is not plugged. If both are ok (and usually are) the problem is caused by a sticking control valve on the top of the fuel tank. Unfortunately, the valve is molded into the tank and therefore only serviced with the fuel tank assembly so the tank will have to be replaced.

    I have the same problem. Also my check engine light is always on... Could this be the root cause? Some type of vaccumm leak?

    You should first diagnose the cause of why the check engine lamp is on. It may be related to your other symtoms.

    I had the issue come on right before inspection. The key sequence provided an error code of p0152. The garage (NTB) changed the bank 2 sensor 1 o2 sensor wich fixed the issue for it to pass inspection. within 2 miles of driving it home the cel came back on with the same error code. The garage replaced the sensor a second time thinking the sensor was bad... again, the cel came back within 2 miles of driving. Doing some research it looks like the bosch sensor they used as a replacement might be the cause of all the problems... I'm picking up a mopar one tonight and will attempt myself. Just an FYI, this is a 4.0 liter 2006 Jeep Rubicon... Any thoughts?

    I cannot find anything relating to that code to a software issue, so since it is a circuit code it would be related to the sensor, wiring or PCM. I would agree that putting a mopar sensor in next would be a good decision.

    How can I get to the filler neck and canister to see if it is plugged?

When filling up the pump stops as if the tank is full. I know it's not as I can only pump about a quarter of a gallon of gas at a time. I can hold the handle so the flow of gas is so slow it will fill

run the fault codes as the problem is normally about venting and this is a purge valve for the canister problem. having said that there are lot of poorly designed fillers on the market that will not allow quick fills as the pump hose trigger keeps cutting of no no reason. You may have to just take your time when filling like most people do.
In this country lock fillers have been banned and you have to hold the trigger until the tank is full. Stops idiots from putting the nozzle in the tank and then wandering off and allowing the tank to over fill and create a dangerous situation..

Problem filling gas tank 98 jeep wrangler, nozzle keeps clicking off

It's very possible that your fuel tank vent hose is bloked or kinked.

The gas pump shuts off as i fill the tank of my jeep wrangler

your vapor vent is not working. It is either inside the filler neck or runs along side it. Try not inserting the gas nozzle all the way in.

My 1991 jeep wrangler fuel pump is not turning on? I don't know what is wrong.

If you are positive that your fuel pump is not working, then it is time to replace it.

You can find the fuel pump either inside the engine compartment or inside the gas tank, depending on the engine that you have in your wrangler.

Since it is likely that you have the inline 6 cylinder 4.0, the pump is most likely inside the tank.

Go ahead and pull it if you are sure that is the problem and take it to be tested by your local auto parts store.

1991 Jeep Fuel Control Issue

Hey Mudkicker,

Who ever thought of putting an electric fuel pump inside a tank of gas........

Check your other gauges for accuracy. They do that when a ground is loose.

Check the wiring from the fuel tank along the longitudinal frame for frays and shorts. Plugs are secured.

Under the hood, passenger side, check the fuel pump relay. Switch it with one of the others to test it.

Bring the vehicle to an auto parts store. Ask them to break out he code reader. Check for diag codes

Comment me back
Mike.

1998 jeep wrangler starting issues

Hi Dava224 i had the same problem with my 1989 CJ. when it was cold out i would pump the gas pedal 3-4 times before turning the ignition. it puts a small amount of fuel in the motor without stalling it out. it wont start as hard. another good idea is to keep some fuel stabalizer in the tank everytime you fill up. hope this helps

1994 Jeep Wrangler hard to keep running

The fuel pump is located in the gas tank and the filter is right in front of the tank on the inside of the frame. I have never worked on that particular throttle body, but if it has a throttle position sensor, that could be what your problem is.
