Had problems filling the gas / petrol tank?
Ive been to 3 gas stations today, so it must be my car. I can only get a couple of litres in as the pumps keep cutting out.... Anyone had/fixed this?
Im guessing its an air lock, or is there a breather that might be blocked???? Thanks |

More likely it is full and your gas readout is broken...
Just a guess.. |

Try putting the filler neck all the way in, and run the gas in slower.

UPDATE.
Thanks for the "advice"...... I took out the breather pipe and cleaned it through, and a sticky piece of crap came out. Put it back on and all is now well. Took about half hour for anyone thinking of doing the same, a few clips for the plastic cover then prying off the ends of the hose. Not too tricky but saved $$$ over a stealer trying it. |

I have owned my Yaris since they were first available here in California back in March of 06. They just did a State wide change of ALL the fuel nozzles at all the gas stations. For the first time, I too have had nothing less than trouble trying to get gas in my tank. At the cost of $120 the Dealer says there is nothing wrong with my vehicle. However, he isn't the one trying to put fuel in my car!

manual, but didn't see it in the Fuel section. I am not having the problem, but it would be nice to see how that breather pipe is supposed to look. |
