Friends: 0 |  Bladder in Gen III or not? Went to a new owners clinic at the Toyota dealer this week and the service man told us about a bladder in the gas tank. Thought I had read on this forum that the 2010 Gen III Prius did NOT have a bladder in it. What is the correct information on this? |

Friends: 0 | Re: Bladder in Gen III or not? It makes you wonder what misinformation is given at the Toyota dealerships. Unless he was referring to the Gen II as a comparison and meant the Gen II having bladders |

The bladder is used to minimize evaporative emissions. The operating principle is that it conforms to the liquid volume in the tank and minimizes the free volume that the vapor can occupy in the tank. | |
