Since you mentioned diesel Chevettes and 19th century engines I just figured we're not being Yaris specific at the moment. Sorry. No, never dropped a Yaris tank, but filler tube is very small and goes nearly straight down with a few other fairly tight bends, so a ball and/or screen might not even be required.

At any rate, I don't think total emptying of the tank is necessary. If it were mine, I'd fill it up to the cap with diesel and drive off with a cautious light foot on the throttle, but I wouldn't think of telling the original poster to try anything like that.

It's all good, I guess? BTW, I don't remember telling the OP anything...I was simply stating that devices probably aren't needed because of the small filler tubing and tight bends on our Yaris.

Well the shop drained the tank and put in 20 liters of diesel for me so all is well I suppose. Got an appointment for next week to get a new windshield.

Yep, all fixed. Watch those hoses! I've done the opposite with diesel in gasoline. That's a real mess, the exhaust smokes and stinks and the engine pings easily when there's only something like 2-3% diesel left in the tank.
