Accurate fuel fill without topping off?
Traditionally, on my cars I've always had a standard procedure for ensuring an accurate fuel fill. Run the pump till it auto-stops. Top it off. Bounce 15 times. And then top off again. However:
1. Topping off results in increased pollution from vapor. 2. I've read on this forum that topping off the Yaris can cause problems with the canister/vent system. (Is this true, I wonder?) 3. Topping off the Yaris involves tediously putting in over a gallon of extra fuel, which takes a while and is a real pain in the cold and wind. 4. The way the filler is designed, it's hard to top off without getting fuel on the paint every time. So... is there a better way to do this while preserving accuracy? I travel a lot, and so always using the same pump is not possible. -Steve |
