    Welcome to the site! I don't have much input on this, but someone should chime in shortly.

    I have same problem with both my Cj and Yj. I believe it's a design flaw. I can only pump on low setting. Anybody else have a fix?

    I have *knock on wood* never had this issue but have seen that it is most commonly attributed to a clogged evap system or fuel tank vent valve.

    I don't know when Jeep started it but I have seen the TJ guys complain that a check ball that rides on rails in the filler neck getting stuck.

    Welcome to the forum @jfaxon.
    I believe another member had this same issue. I'll have to see if I can find the thread. If memory serves me. It's as OFFGRID said. Its a design flaw. Just bring a magazine when you to fill up dude. Loll.
