I found this picture, not sure it will help? Make sure fill pipe--vent/evap hoses are not clogged or kinked. Maybe try a different gas station?
Thanks for reply but the image doesn't match the tank. This tank is 1 year old... not sure if any changes were made in design or if that image is from a different year vehicle.
That image came from an automotive database, these databases aren't always correct, but, I have nothing else. I'll try to look elsewhere, but, doubt if I find another picture. It seems to me, you have a hose/line that is crimped or blocked or the gas pump has a problem?
The picture is for filler neck that fits your vehicle, see the small vent tube, make sure it isn't clogged or crimped.
Many different gas pumps were used. The filler neck vent tube is clear as well as the fresh air filter and tube. I've tried filling with evap canister and leak detection pump un plugged and then removed tank again to wire the fuel tank poppet valve open thinking maybe it was sticking closed but it comes back up filler neck more then ever.
Only thing left really to check are the hoses that are on top of the tank, but i want to know what the ports are before i remove tank yet again.... I can't understand how this started after replacing fuel pump. The only connection on the fuel pump is the fuel outlet. Stumped. .
Fyi update.. tank is bad and it was replaced a little over 1 year ago. So new tank didn't last 14 months.
I am having a similar problem. Started after dealer replaced fuel pump also. What is really confusing is that everything works fine for a few months then all of a sudden it starts acting up. Did you ever find a solution?

The Problem most likely is the Fuel tank pressure valve (roll over valve) - the problem is if they are part of the tank - Have not been able to find the part and Jeep says only with tank replacement...
Can anyone help me I've been trying to find one of these parts for my 2005 jeep liberty as you can see the recent one broke I wanted to know if these are replaceable or if I need to buy a new gas tank and where can I purchase(i believe it's called a rollover valve)
Hi this is my problem as well. And all I have found is that one has to buy the whole tank. The tank has the 2 rollover valves. ***? Can anyone tell me how important the rollover valves are??

Hi everyone. I wanted to send an update with how I solved the problem with my daughters 2007 Jeep liberty. The jeep has 110k miles and suddenly stopped accepting gas. I looked at all the forums and consulted my mechanic on this. I chose to replace the tank. I am a bit handy but by no means a certified one. I payed around 500 bucks for the tank and attacked the install. It appears to be a complicated job but it truly is simple. First the fuel pump and fuel sender are accessible when you remove the rear seat. There are two circle steel keepers that need to be taken off by hitting with a screw driver and a hammer. The most intimidating part was removing the drive shaft and exhaust. The drive shaft has four bolts that might need some muscle to remove. Once the bolts are removed it slides back a bit to rest on a block. A tip to getting the bolts above is to jack up the front, put the car in neutral to turn the front tires which will move the drive shaft. This will let you have access to the other bolts. Do the opposite when replacing. The exhaust has three rubber holders that slide off and rests on the ground as well. Now you have room to remove the two straps holding the tank. Take note where the one side attaches and the other side bolts down. There are three hoses that disconnect and reconnect to the new tank. Also there is a clamp holding on the fuel fill hose. Fairly easy to access. If I had known how simple this was I would have put a you-tube video up. Anyone asking about just replacing the rollover valve? Well it is not possible as all the hoses are permanent and cannot be replaced. If you have sending unit issues that is under the seat on the passenger side. If you have fuel pump issues that can be replaced with access under the seat in the driver side. I decided to spend the $500 bucks and not put my daughter at risk of stalling and other dangerous issues. I will put my email on here if there is anyone that I can assist. Again I am not a mechanic but refused to pay 1200 bucks to install this tank. My email is help@gsmc.cc Please let me know if you have any questions.
Its More than just a "Rollover" valve. The pic you show depicts a "Flow Management Valve" which is essential for venting the fuel tank when fueling. If yo try to eliminate or by-Pass the valve you'll have a hell of a time filling your tank (Fuel Nozzle contantly shutting off) as well as illuminating your "Check Engine Light" in the instrument panel.
