OK, I admit I am a bit slow.. but while filling the 2000 TJ the other day, the gas pump kept shutting off and I was going through my vast repertoire of bad words.. I looked over and here was another guy with a wrangler doing the same deal.. It never occurred to me that they all might do this? I thought I might have a plugged vent line.. My Cj does it too.. you can only put gas in at a trickle or it backs up in the neck and shuts it off.
WTF??

on my 78 I use to have to turn the nozzel side ways to work for me
best ever 11.669 @ 112.33 mph in 1/4 mile on 33 x 10.50 slicks and 4" lift / 7.358 @ 93.03 mph in the 1/8 mile
My 77 Cherokee has a problem like that.
My CJ doesn't have that problem now but it has a fuel cell in the back instead of the stock gas tank.

Try out my gear ratio calculator (Now in metric)
I've never had that on my CJ. Filler neck is close to 2", with the smaller vent hose blocked.
All my jeeps would do it if the tank got to low. Had to run the hose a half fill to keep it from shutting off.
Also try not putting the hose all the way in.
It's not that I am afraid to die....
It's just that I don't want to be there when it happens -Anon

Goose......... dont that crap piss you off... My old CJ5 does the same thing, and more so now with these new envirmental pump nozzles. BUT, I have learned if I turn the nozzle upside down it works just fine. Everybody at the station may think I'm alittle off, but they are usually staring at me anyway... My ole CJs set up farly good and has alot of battle scares, and not to metion is painted like a Tiger with Tigger off Winny the pooh on the hood.......... (Texas Tigger) ha ha ....... Corny I know, But my little girl (Daddys little girl)came up with the idea.
yea it's aggravating..

With the factory filler the pump handle had to be sideways or upside down.
I changed mine to a YJ restrictor with TJ plastic trim (on a CJ) when I did the TJ flares, and now it works normally. Go figure.

If you need a tool and don't buy it...
you'll eventually pay for it...
and not have it.

I have only found 1 gas station that I could click the handle.
