After getting my hand soaked and/or having attendants get annoyed with splash back during refill I decided to fix the problem.
Camera is on the fritz so just Google Jeep rollover valve for detailed instructions and pictures. That's what I did.
First I dropped the tank and used the plastic decoupled to pull the fuel and evaporation lines off the fittings. Warning, be very careful pulling the feed line off the pump. Break that nipple and it's a new pump!
Once the tank is out simply take the fuel pump out of the tank, reach inside to the filler neck and twist the valve assembly off the neck. Inside that assembly is a spike like device with a seal on one end. That spike rises to block the neck when filling the tank and it gets full or in the event of a roll over plugs the neck.
The spike has 3 ribbed areas on it that swell from exposure to the ethanol. Mine was stick badly both in the full down and full up positions. Ran a bit of course sand paper over the ribs until it moved freely. Reassemble in reverse order.
Total cost= $0.0. Total time 2 hours. But that was using my lift and tranny jack.
Good luck.:wink2:
