Hello….05 TJ manual 4.0 30K miles. About 20 miles after fill up, the gauge drops to empty, the check engine light comes on. If I shut off the engine briefly, gauge works again but CEL stays on. Code P0463. I disconnect the battery briefly, CEL goes off until next fill up.
Note: when filling up, pump stops after gasoline spews out some; it does not shut off ahead to prevent the overflow from happening.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
 
The overflow is a well known problem for the '05-'06 TJ's. The band aid fix is to swap the filler hose with a GM hose. The proper fix is to drop the tank and remove the back flow control part (don't know what it is called). Need to file down the sides a bit so it moves freely. Plenty of write ups on both fixes are available online.
