Filling gas tank issues

I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangled TJ I bought used and everytime I get gas it spews gas out right as it shuts off. Does anyone know if this is an easy fix or what kind of garage I can call to fix this. I read that the issue is a flapper problem in the neck where it fills. It is going to eventually ruin my paint not to mention my shoes an clothes. Thank you

two solutions, install a GM fuel filler neck, that has a flapper in it, or dont fill it up all the way. shame on chrysler for not making this a recall item, as it is far too common. so common, that GM ran out of filler necks for a given part and the forums found several others that will also work.

here is one of the first threads with a fix and a list of models that will work

Its fun, aint it? The GM hose will make a huge improvement. I just put one on two weeks ago and it helps with the fuel volcano. Jump on Amazon right now and order the hose. They were out of production for a while so get it while you can.

There is also a YT video where the tank is dropped and the stuck float is filed down so that it slides freely. Can't link it from my phone but it is easy to find.





Mine does both depending on mood
