Side Shot of gas tank??

Brian · 05-23-2004, 10:11 PM

I want to see a picture of the gas tank with the bladder in the middle. It would be interesting to see. Would it look like a ice chest with a type of sponge layer that can contract like the bladder?

probably more like a deflated balloon or hot water bottle.

Haha, sorry for the delay! Anyway, here it is - the comparison between the 03 prius gas tank (bottom) and the 04 tank. Enjoy!

This clearly shows that carefully topping off the tank fills up the plumbing and the charcoal canister. This increases evaporative emission of unused fuel. Those who do this go farther to their next fillup at the cost of decreased fuel economy and increased air pollution. Thanks a lot, guys.

Thanks for the picture. I agree with Richard, it really does clear up some questions.
