2013 Jeep Wrangler Fuel System Problems

The fuel supply line that attaches to the fuel rail at the engine sprung a leak at the seam were the plastic tube is sealed together. This is a high pressure line. This resulted in fuel being sprayed directly on the hot cylinder head creating a potential fire hazard.

After having my car checked multiple times because the check engine light wouldn't go off, finally came to find that the Fuel Tank was cracked, my car was leaking gas, and the wires by the tank were all corroded. The car was not in an accident.

Driving on the highway at 75 mph, red lightning bolt light came on dash. Called dealer and they were no help so I unhooked the battery and it cleared. It did this a total of 4 times before I got home. Seems to be a known issue with throttle control system

The high pressure fuel line that is on top of the engine connected to the fuel rail failed. Gas was spraying on the hot engine. This situation could have caused a fire or explosion. I check and jeep recalled 2014 to 2020 for replacement of this fuel line, which is the same line on my jeep. I had to pay a dealer $757 to fix an issue jeep should be responsible.

Due to a strong odor of gasoline emanating from a recently filled fuel tank, the vehicle was towed (due to extreme fire risk) to an independent service center. A subsequent inspection determined a fuel leak in the upper part of the tank assembly and a cracked flange in the fuel pump assembly, which necessitated the replacement of the fuel tank and fuel pump assemblies. The vehicle components are no longer available for inspection and the vehicle was not inspected by anyone other than the owner of the independent service center. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem other than the pungent smell of gasoline. The smell of fuel first occurred after filling the gas tank on/around 08/13/2021.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, he noticed a strong gasoline odor. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to drive to his residence and turn off the vehicle. The contact stated as he opened the hood of the vehicle, he saw gasoline pouring out of the fuel line into the engine compartment. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The dealer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to purchase the parts and replace the fuel line himself. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 114,820.

FUEL LEAKING WHEN TANK IS ABOVE THREE QUARTERS FULL.FUEL MODULE HAD MANY CRACKS WHERE THE FUEL IS LEAKING FROM.

I SMELLED A VERY STRONG SENT OF FUEL INSIDE THE CAB WHILE DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I WENT TO THE GYM AND ASK ANY OF MY FRIENDS TO COME TAKE A LOOK AT IT. A PUDDLE OF FUEL BUILT UP UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. ONCE WE OPENED THE HOOD AND TURNED ON THE JEEP FOR A SECOND, IT WAS IMMEDIATELY DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL LINE SPLIT. IT WAS A LONG SPLIT (2-3") ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE FUEL LINE. PART NUMBER 68141849AD.

GAS FLOWING OUT OF TANK OPENING, NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN FILLING TANK UP. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE HAVING TO FILL VEHICLE UP 3 TIMES A WEEK. HAVE TRIED SEVERAL GAS STATIONS, AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AT ALL STATIONS. IT SEEMS THE CUTOFF VALVE, O RING OR SOMETHING INSIDE THE GAS OPENING IS NOT WORKING
