2005 Jeep Liberty complaints

HARD START AND THEN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. OBDII CODE P302, CHANGED SPARK PLUG AND COIL. ENGINE KNOCKS AND RUNS ROUGH. POSSIBLE VALVE ISSUE. *TR THE CONSUMER STATED TOO MUCH TIME HAS GONE BY, SINCE HE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF THE TRAILER HITCH. CHRYSLER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER HAD TALKED TO A COUPLE OF MECHANICS WHO DEALER WITH TRAILERS AND HITCHES AND THEY HAVE THE PARTS EITHER IN STOCK OR READILY AVAILABLE. UPDATED 06/19/14

STARTING BACK IN AUGUST AND CONTINUING TO THIS DATE, EVERY TIME I PUT FUEL INTO THE JEEP IT SPLASHES OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHEN FULL. NOT JUST A LITTLE SPLASH EITHER! IT POURS OUT OF THE GAS TANK AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP EVERY TIME. I CAN SOMEWHAT CONTROL THE SPLASH BY CLICKING OFF THE GAS PUMP HANDLE AT INTERMEDIATE INTERVALS AND THEN GOING VERY SLOWLY TO PUT THE LAST 2 TO 3 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE TANK, BUT THIS DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. WHEN THE TANK IS ALMOST FULL IT WILL START TO SPEW OUT. *TR

TWO YEARS AGO MY JEEP STARTED MAKING METALLIC GRINDING SOUNDS AND VIOLENTLY SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR AT THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT TO SEE IT BREAKING APART FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AND AFTER A LONG CONVERSATION THEY AGREED TO FIX IT ADMITTING IT WAS A FAULTY PART. YESTERDAY THE NOISES AND SHAKING CAME BACK WITH THE NEWLY REPLACED FRONT DRIVE SHAFT. CHRYSLER ADMITS ITS A UNFAIR SITUATION BUT REFUSES TO REPLACE THERE FAULTY PART ONCE AGAIN. THIS WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT AS IT WILL HAPPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY COMPLAINT. *TR

KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION WHILE IN "PARK" BECAUSE THE SHIFT BUTTON WILL NOT RETRACT AUTOMATICALLY AS DESIGNED (SHIFT-INTERLOCK SYSTEM BROKEN). I MUST MANUALLY RETRACT THE SHIFT BUTTON WHILE IN "PARK" TO REMOVE THE KEY. I MUST ALSO MANUALLY RETRACT THE SHIFT BUTTON WHILE IN "DRIVE" SO THAT THE SHIFTER CANNOT ACCIDENTALLY BE BUMPED OUT OF GEAR BY ACCIDENT. *TR

EVERY TIME I GO TO THE GAS STATION AND FILL UP MY TANK, THE PUMP DOESN'T SHUT OFF AND IT SPILL ABOUT A CUP FULL OF GAS. ALSO AFTER SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS THAT ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM!!! *TR

GASOLINE SPILLS OUT OF THE VEHICLE'S FUEL FILLER NECK UPON COMPLETION OF A FULL TANK REFILLING. INITIALLY, THIS SEEMED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT REGARD TO GAS STATION OR PARTICULAR FUEL PUMP. NOW AT 114,000 MILES, THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP. *TR

POWER WINDOW REGULATOR DEFECTIVE. THIS PLASTIC REGULATOR BREAKS AND THE WINDOW DROPS DOWN. THIS IS A PLASTIC PART THAT HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. CHRYSLER HAS EVEN OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON SELECT MODEL YEARS ON THIS PART, YET HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED IT AS A DEFECTIVE PART THAT COST CONSUMERS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE AS EACH REGULATOR GOES OUT ONE BY ONE ON YOUR VEHICLE. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A METAL REGULATOR. THE AVERAGE COST TO REPLACE THIS PART IS $300-$500 EACH TIME IT FAILS! *JS

WHILE FILLING FUEL TANK, FUEL BEGAN TO BE SPIT OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. FUEL DISPENSER HAD CLICKED AND SHUT OFF FUEL DELIVERY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED. I DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER THE TANK IS FILLED SLOWLY OR FAST. SINCE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY DEALERS REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

I AM WRITING REGARDING THE RECENT RECALL OF ALL JEEP LIBERTY'S. DESPITE WHAT IT SAYS HERE, CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THEY WILL NOT INSPECT NOR INSTALL A TRAILER HITCH ON MY 2005 LIBERTY WHICH IS CLEARLY PART OF THE RECALL. DID THEY JUST LIE AND SAY THEY WOULD DO THIS TO AVOID LEGAL ACTION? PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS.: NHTSA STATEMENT ON CHRYSLER ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING ACTION ON 1993-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND 2002-2007 JEEP LIBERTY'S BASED ON NHTSA?S PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS, AS OUTLINED IN ITS RECALL REQUEST LETTER, CHRYSLER HAS VOLUNTARILY AGREED TO CONDUCT A SAFETY RECALL OF MODEL YEAR 2002-2007 LIBERTY AND 1993-1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES. ON VEHICLES IN THE RECALL THAT ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH A TOW HITCH, CHRYSLER WILL INSTALL A CHRYSLER DESIGNED TOW HITCH FREE OF CHARGE, PROVIDED THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE CAN SUPPORT PROPER INSTALLATION. ON VEHICLES IN THE RECALL THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH AN AFTER MARKET TOW HITCH, CHRYSLER WILL ASSESS WHETHER THE HITCH AND SURROUNDING AREAS SHOW EVIDENCE OF SHARP EDGES OR OTHER PUNCTURE RISKS. IF SO, CHRYSLER WILL REPLACE THE TOW HITCH WITH A CHRYSLER DESIGNED TOW HITCH FREE OF CHARGE, PROVIDED THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE CAN SUPPORT PROPER INSTALLATION. ON VEHICLES ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH A CHRYSLER DESIGNED TOW HITCH, CHRYSLER WILL INSPECT THE AREA AROUND THE TOW HITCH INSTALLATION, AND IF ANY INSTALLATION ISSUES ARE IDENTIFIED, THEY WILL BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. *JB

I PUT THE GAS PUMP ON AUTOMATIC AND WENT INSIDE TO GET A RECEIPT WHEN I CAME BACK THE PUMP HAD STOPPED AND THERE WAS GAS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ON THE GROUND!*JB

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WITH A LIGHT POLE AND SMALL TREE. DRIVER WAS FORCED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID A HEAD ON CRASH WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. TWO OF THE FRONT BUMPER SENSORS WERE HIT, BUT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVE HIT THE STEERING COLUMN THAT HAD BROKEN OFF WITH HER STERNUM, AND THE PASSENGER HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS A QUESTION INVOLVING THE SEAT BELTS NOT HOLDING EITHER OF THE INDIVIDUALS IN PLACE. THE 2005 JEEP HAD SEVERAL RECALLS, AND MANY SHOP BULLETINS OF PART FAILURES ON FILE THOUGH THIS ONE WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALER AND CERTIFIED AS OK...UPDATED 09-18-13 *BF UPDATED *JB

REAR TAILLIGHTS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT LEAST 10 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2007.I AM CONSTANTLY BEING PULLED OVER AND EVERY MECHANIC IS TELLING ME THAT ITS A JEEP ISSUE BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY RECALLS!!!! THEY SAY ITS A GROUND WIRING PROBLEM THAT JEEPS HAVE...PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS!!! *TR

WHEN IT RAIN WATER IS ENTERING THE VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE WATER IS RUNNING ALONG THE OUTLETS PLUGS OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF WHERE THE WATER IS ENTERING. I HEARD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS CONDITION ON OTHER MODELS, BUT DIDN'T INCLUDE JEEP. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN THOUGH THE SEATBELTS ARE FASTENED. ALL FUSES OK. *TR

WHEN I FUEL UP MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY THERE IS NO AUTO STOP FOR GAS FILL UP. IF I TRY TO FILL TANK ALL THE WAY UP THE GAS WILL SQUIRT BACK AT ME, COVERING MY VEHICLE, MY CLOTHING AND MY SKIN, SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AFTER COVERED IN GAS. IV ONLY OWNED THE JEEP A FEW MONTHS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, IM VERY AFRAID TO "TOP OFF" MY TANK AND THEREFORE MY MPG IS TERRIBLE, SEEMS MANY PEOPLE ALSO HAVE THIS ISSUE, WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN A RECALL, SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM, WITH GAS PRICES THESE DAYS AND ALL THE WASTED GAS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM ITS ALSO AN EXPENSIVE ISSUE AS WELL AS DANGEROUS. *TR

2005 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FUEL TANK ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS SPILLING GAS, EVERY TIME SHE FILLED THE TANK. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED. HOWEVER, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ONLY THE 2006 AND 2007 WERE COVERED. THE DEALER THEN INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $1500 FOR THE FUEL TANK, PLUS LABOR AND ANY INCIDENTAL CHARGES.

WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER JUST PURCHASING IT, FUEL GUSHED OUT OF THE TANK AFTER THE PUMPED HAD CLICKED OFF. THE PUMP DID NOT OVERFILL THE TANK. FUEL SPLASHED OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT DIRECTLY BESIDE THE VEHICLE OR FUEL WOULD HAVE SPLASHED ON ME. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FAULT OF THE PUMP UNTIL I HAPPENED TO SEE A VIDEO ON UTUBE OF OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE PUMP DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF. RESULTING IN FUEL SPRAYING ALL OVER OPERATOR, JEEP, AND PAVEMENT. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, IS CHRYSLER GOING TO STEP-UP AND RECALL THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED? *TR

I WENT TO ALLEN SAMUELS ABOUT THE GAS TANK AND I DID NOT GET THE HITCH I NEEDED. THE ADVISOR [XXX] SAID I NEEDED A REQUEST FROM CHRYSLER. HELP INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HI THERE, I AM TAKING MY JEEP LIBERTY FOR A RECALL ON THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER CONTROL ARMS TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER TOMORROW JUNE 27, 2013. APPARENTLY THE RECALL WAS MADE BECAUSE THE CONTROL ARMS ARE MADE OUT OF A MATERIAL THAT CAN CORRODE AND BREAK WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING A CRASH. I FIND THIS INTERESTING BECAUSE ON JUNE 26, 2012 ALMOST A YEAR AGO TO THE DAY, I HAD THE JEEP IN FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSFER CASE AND THE MECHANIC REPLACED MY FRONT CONTROL ARM NOTING THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH A THING, IT WAS ROTTED ALMOST COMPLETELY THROUGH AND THOSE ALMOST ALWAYS OUTLAST ANY VEHICLE THEY ARE ON. I PAID $549.00 TO HAVE THAT REPLACED AND I WOULD THINK IT WAS THE SAME CHEAP METAL AS THE REAR CONTROL ARMS...WHY WOULDN'T IT BE? ANYWAYS, I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR OF THEIR CHEAP PARTS. I AM ALSO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PENDING RECALL ON THE GAS TANK PLACEMENT OF MY LIBERTY WHICH CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. I AM NOT A MECHANIC AND TRUST AUTO COMPANIES TO KEEP MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY TO BE PARAMOUNT. IF I HAD OF KNOWN THAT THERE WAS A POTENTIAL DANGER TO OUR LIVES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED I WOULD NEVER, EVER HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I MIGHT ALSO MENTION THAT BESIDES THE FRONT DRIVESHAFT, THE REAR CONTROL ARMS, THE TRANSFER CASE REPLACEMENT, I HAVE ALSO HAD THE REAR END REDONE TWICE NOW. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BILLS FOR ALL OF THIS WORK. IF CHRYSLER HAD ANY DECENCY AT ALL THEY WOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES WITHOUT QUESTION. I AM IN ONTARIO, CA

WHILE FUELING UP AND IT IS FULL THE AUTOMATIC PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF TILL IT OVER FLOWS A LITTLE, IT DOES IT EVERY TIME YOU GO THE PUMP. AND YOU LOSE LIKE A QUARTER OF A GALLON OF GAS OUT OF IT. *TR

CAR HIT ME FROM BEHIND. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON SAYS THE FUEL EVAPORATION SYSTEM. *TR

FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, THE AUTOMATIC FUEL DISPENSER DOES NOT STOP ALLOWING FUEL TO SPURT OUT. I LOSE ABOUT 1/4 -1/2 GALLON EVERY TIME. I SLOW FILL TO HELP ALLEVIATE, BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. CONSISTENT FUEL SPILLS ON THE PAVEMENT AND SIDE OF VEHICLE. ALSO GAS SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE AFTER FILLING UP. *TR

2005 JEEP LIBERTY DIESEL. FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR LEAKS FUEL THROUGH THE HEATER ELECTRICAL LINES. KNOWN FIRE HAZARD THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER HAS NOT RECALLED. RAW FUEL RUNS OUT THE LIVE ELECTRICAL HEATER LINES. ENGINE WAS STALLING ON STARTUP. ODBII CODE CAME ON AFTER A MONTH OF THIS "FUEL LEAK SEVERE". IT WAS LOOSING PRIME WHILE SITTING DUE TO AIR LEAKING IN. FOUND FUEL LEAK ON PRE-HEATER CONNECTOR TO FUEL WATER SEPARATOR HOUSING. FOUND SOME BURNT AND MELTED PLASTIC WHERE CONNECTOR WAS. I FOUND NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF THIS ON-LINE. I FOUND A PLETHORA OF INFO ON THIS AND THERE WEREN'T MANY OF THESE VEHICLES SOLD. IT SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS ISSUE. CHRYSLER OBVIOUSLY KNOWS ABOUT THEIR MISTAKE, WHEN I CALLED THEM THEY WERE ABLE TO SELL ME A NEW SEPARATOR WITH AN UPDATED FUEL HEATER CONNECTION, FIXING THE KNOWN ISSUE. WITH NEW SEPARATOR, NO ISSUES. SHOULD BE RECALL. STALLING OUT ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND LOSING POWER. COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER TECHS COULDN'T FIX THE ISSUE WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR REPAIR AND I SPENT OVER A $1000 ON OTHER REPAIRS THEY THOUGHT WERE CAUSING THE ISSUE BEFORE I FOUND THE INFO ONLINE ABOUT THE SEPARATOR ISSUE AND WE FOUND THE MELTED HEATER CONNECTIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING, THE SHUT OFF VALVE FAILED AND FUELING DID NOT CEASE AUTOMATICALLY. AS A RESULT, FUEL WOULD SPEW FROM THE FILLER NECK VALVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER REPAIRED NOR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

I'VE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE POSSIBLE RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL TANKS - AND I ALWAYS HAVE A GAS ODOR IN MY CAR. IT IS USUALLY MUCH STRONGER AFTER I FILL MY TANK BUT I ALWAYS HAVE A GAS ODOR. ALSO I HAVE THE PASSENGER BACK WINDOW DOWN LIKE MANY OTHER OWNERS. *TR

OVER TIME, THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ON FUEL PUMPS AT GAS STATIONS BEGAN TO NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL AFTER A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL HAD SPILLED OUT (UP TO A HALF GALLON). AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT MAY BE THE DESIGN OF DIFFERENT PUMPS, SO I EXPERIMENTED WITH DIFFERENT STATIONS. I FOUND THAT NO MATTER WHAT STYLE PUMP OR STATION I AM AT, THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR. I HAVE HAD TO RESORT TO ESTIMATING HOW MUCH GASOLINE I NEED BASED ON MY GAGE PRIOR TO TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. ANOTHER OPTION IS TO UNDERESTIMATE AND NEVER REALLY HAVE A FULL TANK. I HAVE FOUND THAT SEVERELY SLOWING THE PUMP DOWN TOWARD THE END OF WHAT I THINK IS THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE I NEED FOR A FULL TANK WILL USUALLY (BUT NOT ALWAYS) GET THE PUMP TO SHUT OFF IN TIME PRIOR TO OVERFLOWING. ALTHOUGH I HAVE GOTTEN BETTER AT ESTIMATING, THERE ARE STILL TIMES THAT GASOLINE OVERFLOWS. ASIDE FROM A FIRE HAZARD ON THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND AT THE PUMP, THE GASOLINE CAN CAUSE BODY DAMAGE OVER TIME. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ATTEMPTING TO "TOP OFF" THE TANK AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THERE IS NO TOP OFF ROOM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD OTHER VEHICLES THAT COULD TAKE AN EXTRA GALLON OR MORE AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF, BUT THIS ONE DOES NOT. AFTER LOOKING AT SEVERAL FORUMS AND OTHER ONLINE POSTS, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, LEFT MY INFORMATION WITH THEM TO BE PROCESSED, AND WAS TOLD I'D BE CALLED BACK. THEY CALLED BACK AND LEFT A VOICEMAIL SAYING THAT THEY

POWER WINDOW HAS FAILED AND ALLOWED THE GLASS TO FALL INSIDE THE DOOR ON THREE DIFFERENT WINDOWS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MY GASOLINE 2005 LIBERTY ON THREE OCCASIONS BEGINNING IN 2010 AND ON MY DIESEL 2005 LIBERTY, ONCE IN 2011. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALER IN 2011, WHILE FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE GAS HAS NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AT THE FULL POINT CAUSING GAS TO FLOW ONTO THE REAR QUARTER PANEL, AND ON MY HANDS AND JEANS. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE WHO IS STILL IN A CAR SEAT AND MUST BE PICKED UP AND HELPED IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. CANNOT LEAVE MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE TO WASH FUEL OFF MY HANDS, AND HAD TO HELP HER WITH GAS ON ME. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES AND YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. BEFORE EVEN LEAVING THE PARKING LOT WITH NEW VEHICLE DEALER TOOK VEHICLE AND FILLED UP GAS TANK, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF OVERFLOW ISSUES AT THE DEALERSHIP, OR WHEN THE DEALER RETURNED WITH THE VEHICLE. I NOW SLOW THE GAS PUMP DOWN TO AVOID THE OVERFLOW BUT IT STILL DOES IT JUST NOT TO THE POINT OF SPRAYING UPWARD TOWARDS MY FACE. *TR

THE VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY SPILLS FUEL UPON FILLING THE TANK. AUTOMATIC SHUTOFFS AT GAS STATIONS DO NOT PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. IT HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS IN DIFFERENT STATES, SO I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS CAUSED BY THE GAS STATION PUMPING SYSTEM. SOME SPILLS HAVE BEEN UP TO 0.5 GALLONS. IN MY OPINION THIS PRESENTS A SEVERE FIRE HAZARD. *TR
