Jeep Won't Fill with Gas? Pump Auto Shutoff? Reaction

There is an easy fix to your jeep not filling with gas and the pump automatically turning off. You need to get underneath your jeep and gently tap on the bottom of the gas tank with a small hammer. The trick is to just tap on the bottom of the jeep fuel tank until you can fill the tank with gas.

Jeep has been having lots of issues with their vehicles not filling with gas because the pump automatically turns off. They’re seems to be an evap issue in the fuel tank system. Someone found out a small hack to allow the jeep to fill with gas without the pump turning off.

I have had this problem with my 2012 Jeep patriot. I just tried this trick and it worked! Thank you for spreading the word

Jeep has a wide range of issues after owning one for three years, I’m tired of replacing and fixing parts on the weekends. Past two fill ups has done the clicking bs, saw this hack video before listening to your video, in a weeks time I will try the tap method and see if it works or not! Bout ready to go to jeep dodge Chrysler and tell them their vehicles are pos!

I am currently sitting in a rental wrangler 4xe. This issue is present on this vehicle. If you turn the engine on while filling, it will work. I think it may have something to do with the vacuum/pressure in the tank.

Filling with the gas handle upside down works, or dont let the gas go too much below 1/2 tank and will not have the issue

If it still has the issue just keep filling it, but make sure you hold down the fuel pump trigger half way. It is an issue with the EVAP system. It’s when the gas can get enough air and it gurgles the fuel back up. Think of it as a water bottle flipped upside down trying to get the water out.

Have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee and Had this problems for several months. Jeep dealer advised they would look at it but the evac system wasn’t under warranty. Took the car to my local mechanic who did a thorough inspection of the system with the help of another tech familiar with the issue and after running several test it was determined that the problem was a defective evac canister which was replaced. 👍🤞🤞refueling the car so far has had no further problems. Lesson, WHEN FILLING UP, DONT CONSTANTLY TOP OFF YOUR TANK…you’ll eventually force fuel into the charcoal canister which eventually will cause this problem.

Wow, just tapped the hose on my 2014 trailhawk at tank entrance with a metal handle and it worked. I initially watched the referenced video and found this as a second opinion. My kinda fix!

Just talked to the dealership about this they said it’s not a known issue. That’s complete bs they’re should be a recall for this this so dumb

[ptlwhit]

This is a manufacturer issue, therefore, it should be the manufacturer who should repair this malfunction by having a total recall of the defected vehicles, and fix the system components so that gas can be pumped into the gas tank. I have a 2017 Jeep Cherokee with the same problem. I can no longer pump gas. Furthermore, I have filed a complaint with the NHTSA. We as consumers should not have to pay out of pocket for a malfunction that the manufacturer needs to be responsible for.

Interesting. My 2018 been doing the same thing hit or miss each time. I used a bottle of Seagram before each fill up which worked for a while. Not working anymore. I’ll try this method

[renfroe]

My 2013 Dart had this problem, I went underneath the car and hit underneath the fuel tank, and now I can put fuel back in. There is a ball check valve that sticks, and it jars the ball lose by hitting the tank near the fill tube. I have no idea how long this will work.

[maxmillion]

It worked!!! Is it a recurring issue? Do I need to carry a hammer?

[evanbmx]

I got a 2019 grand Jeep Cherokee you can put it on the low click and it works but going to try to fix it might be back

[rosekeller]

My 2004 Grand does this every time I try to fill it. I will try this the next time I fill up. It's so frustrating. Thank you 😀

My dad did this and it worked for my 2012 Jeep Compass. I’m so over this issue

[kristenhill]

So does he have to do this everytime he fills up or is it one and done? Just couldn’t see this solving the issue permanently just doing this once. However, I haven’t watched the dudes video yet. I will say it’s not so much of an issue that leaves me stranded anywhere, but enough of a problem I avoid going to particular stations for gas if I can help it. (Little generals are the absolute WORST!) Makes no sense but I don’t have this issue at every station. I’ve noticed too, if you squeeze the trigger all the way, that’s when it’s gonna shut off. So at the stations where I have the issue, I’ve been seriously barely pulling the trigger where it is pumping so slowly. idk about anyone else, but I don’t have time for that! So I already have the issue of my tank being on the opposite side than most, and if there’s only a couple of pumps having to back up in there, or be the asshole that pulls up headlight to headlight where they have to back out, but you also have to spend 25 minutes trying to fill up your tank, which isn’t a large tank. I’ve owned 2 jeep renegades now (in green) and I absolutely love my trailhawk more than anything, but getting gas should not be such a hassle. Literally can walk to a station from my house, and it’s one I make a point not to get gas at unless I have plenty of time to slowly pump.

Just purchased a jeep and I have such a hard time putting gas in it it 🤦‍♀️

[sabotage]

I spend 25 min foe 50 liters of diesel ... and even more if gas pistol make more foam when pouring .... There is one filter case on the end of a vent hose, fixed on the main, ,in, , fuel hose , but its only for maybe drops of water or mud not to enter.... i tried with a pump for rib boats to pump air in tank to see or feel if it comes out from that hose ...but it comes out hard like something is blocked ... with a big pressure it works, but with lower - barely ... so the fuel do not have strength to make that kind of pressure .... something must be preventing air from going out ... ???|
and there is a plastic cover under or over the tank ...so what are we hitting then???

Just got my 2016 Jeep SRt and it’s having this issue. Will give it a try😢

[chazzicili]

Im having this problem and im guessing its related to my evap system issue. Replaced solenoid, and purge valve canister, then found another leak in my fuel neck filler tube which i cant replace because its on national back order. Im hoping some simple taps will at least fix my problem of filling up gas.
