Default "Throwing Up" Gas at the Pump

I know that this is a common problem with Wranglers. Is there a way to fix this? I have an 07 Sahara JKU

Had the same thing.... I have on 07 Rubi and was spitting fuel @ every fill up. Found a thread here bout it, called the dealer and had it replaced the Wed before Thanksgiving can't believe the previous owner didn't get it fixed or that the dealer didn't before I bought it

I have an 07 jku that just started doing this. Chrysler sent me a lifetime recall notice a while back. So I'll be talking to the local stealership this week

Yeah, my '08 Rubi was doing the same thing so I took it into the dealership....they replaced the whole gas tank and haven't had a problem since!

Now my clutch throwout bearing is another story...

I did the service out of warranty. Chrysler paid 50% 125.00 I kicked in the remainder. I was told if it had a warranty it would have been covered. I have yet to see a recall on it. Just call Chrysler not the dealer and they will work with you. Good luck.

It was a recall for 07 & 08s for sure... Mines an 07 with no warranty...
