[QUOTE="Ditch Doc, post: 454521, member: 24570"] Hello from Raleigh! New here. We got our 4th Jeep a few months ago, a 2008 JK X with an AT. From the start, we had the well-known fuel overflow / slow fill issue. Our local dealership replaced the fil tube per the TSB. This solved the overflow problem, but we still can't fill up at much more than a trickle. I'm thinking this is going to be an issue with the vent / rollover valve, so.., new tank.
