Hello my friends! help out! it is impossible to refuel. cars brought from America. during refueling at the gas station gun stops after 15 liters (~ 3 halon). Further fueling a slow stream.All sin to feature tanks for the American version of the Prius - they are quite different in contrast to the European and Japanese! but how do you solved this problem? Please help me. Sorry for my bad english. =)
If your 2008 car is brought from the US then it may have a gas tank with a flexible "membrane". This membrane can partially collapse, reducing the gas gank capacity. There are lots of members here with that generation of car, maybe can give you some tips.
welcome! some have had success turning the gun sideways or upside down. also, take the gas cap off, and let the tank breathe for a few minutes. dasvidaniya!
In 2004-2009 US Prii, the internal gas tank "bladder" gets stiff in cold weather and reduces tank capacity (by about 20%). The gas pump auto shut-off can trigger prematurely due to the back pressure needed to expand the bladder. JeffD
and how still they are not condemned and Toyota did not do a program to replace the tank ? this is a direct coercion to replace expensive item ! Unfortunately, in Europe and in Russia tembolee giants sue difficult ... where is the justice?
There is no tank replacement program in the U.S. If one were to be created, it would also have to make other changes to meet U.S. air quality regulations. Drivers have mostly learned how to deal with its annoyances and peculiarities and get nearly a full tank of fuel into it. In Russia, you are likely free to replace the U.S. tank with a no-bladder European or Japanese tank.
