New to the Crew 2005 Owner

'ello everyone. Just got a silver 2005 w/ ~95,000 miles. Had an 02 accord since 2004 that, despite some pretty dire neglect until recently, served me like a champ until overheated last year. Tried for a few months to get her back on the road but in the end better since prevailed and after much deliberation decided on a prius. Been devouring info for the past week or so, and man there's alot to chew on. Averaging about 55mpg w/out much effort. Had about 2/3 of a tank pulling out the dealer and decided to try and fill up but the pump just kept clicking and then spewed out some gas. Was kinda pissed but have cooled off since, especially seeing how awesome the mpgs are. Had read about bladder problems in the cold but it's been really warm lately so wasn't expecting that. Haven't tried again since. Driven about 150 miles so far and I don't think she's dropped a bar on the fuel gauge (could be wrong, didn't count exactly) so I'm thinking it needs to be reset but haven't tried the method I saw on here yet. Gonna carry 2gal gas just in case something is way off so I don't run out of gas till things get sorted out. Any pointers or words of wisdom w/ these issues would be great. Overall still pretty pleased so far despite the issues. Cheers

 

Thanks for the heads up about the 3 gallons as well as those fill tips. Also read somewhere about sticking a finger below the fill hole to let it vent. My thought factoring in the gauge issue was that the gauge was off and that the tank was already near full causing the pump to click but that's a shot in the dark and probly just as likely if not more a pump issue. Gonna try again to fill up tomorrow and hope with fingers crossed it doesn't turn out to be a significant issue. Everything I've read so far has given the impression it's a sporadic thing. I'll be getting into all the maintenance stuff asap.

 

Hey Bisco, yeah I've got that procedure bookmarked. Still haven't gotten the reverse and seat belt beep nix codes working yet, but only tried twice. Feels like i'm entering the cheat codes in Contra on the original nintendo doing some of this stuff, lol. Weird, but pretty cool. Way different than my honda.
