| Gas overflow when filling up my 08 jeep wrangler unlimited (4door). just purchased 1 week ago - thought first incident was a mishap, but went to another gas station and did the same thing - and a 3rd today. no sooner then the click the gas spills out everywhere. this is not only frustrating but also a hazard and a waste of money. *tr | |||
