I have a Gladiator and it does it every time. Slowed down the pump and it still spit back a little.

I can hear when it’s getting near full and cut the flow back to 1/2. I also Found that waiting for 10 seconds to remove the nozzle (as it instructs on the sticker on the fuel filler door) does help - I then tap the nozzle a couple times and don’t get any drips on the side of the Jeep

I guess I'm lucky. Never had a kickback gas spill.

Purchased my Gladiator 1 Aug, filled up several times since and have had no issues with splashing. My 06 LJ, now thats another story. LJ always did it if i set the nozzle to lock. Like another poster said, i would listen as it filled and got to know where it would stop depending on gas prices. Once it was near full, i would manually control in flow and stop when it topped off. My YJ had near the same issue. Sold it recently so that fixed the problem. I'm crissing my fingers this never occurs on my JT.

Good luck with that. I had them look at it and was told:
1. I have never heard of any Jeep having this problem.
2. After checking with another service technician, they decided to check the evap canister.
3. That tested fine, nothing else to see here folks.
I told them, "So I just have to deal with this?" Then I read what was written on the bottom of the service sheet..."Advise customer to go to another gas station".
Gee...if only I was as smart as those mechanics. I NEVER would have thought to try that. I was not happy...in fact I was LIVID. The service advisor quickly said that he did not write that.
I got my two free oil changes from this dealership - I am done with them,

There is a lot of "write ups" on the fix for TJ/LJ fuel burping fix. I have met one of the people who did one of first write up U-tube videos on it. But after so many years of it I can hear when it's about to do it. I've not had it yet with my JT, but I've yet to fill past 18 gal of gas too. When I do fill up at about 10 gal I move it to slow fill (first click) of gas pump. Out of habit from LJ. The things you can get use to, not enough leg room for me in MJ, but plenty in XJ almost. Fuel burping in LJ. Twitchy steering or lag in steering, my XJ I wouldn't let anyone else drive due to how it steers... Flat out twichy / light steering for someone who doesn't know how it drove and turning ratio.

Definitely time to get it checked out by service tech, you have already been to the dealership with this if I remember correctly. If so I'd change from who you took it to before. Someone might have tried to siphon your gas out and messed up the vent line / evap can line or something like that.

I hadn’t been to the dealership yet, first visit is Thursday, I also checked everything I could underneath but did not see anything messed up as some one said a dealer found a vent hose unplugged But we will see what comes of this visit

So here is the update... took gladiator into dealer, they inspected fuel system form underneath no issues found, updated pcm and then took to gas station and filled it up, no issues found was a little skeptical at first, they even washed it for me, I picked it up and have filled it up 2 times now, no issues with fuel burping out on shutoff at the gas stations I normally fill up and had issues. I was interested on pcm update but not a whole lot of info on it guessing it keeps the purge valve open longer after shutoff or something... I’m very glad it’s fixed though, hope other people get some info from this and get this pcm update done to fix their issues.
