| Description of the problem | This vehicle is a hybrid. The gas tank is supposed 14. 5 gallons. The gas guage never shows as full. The vehicle showed 103 miles to empty so i filled it up. I could only add 7. 414 gallons of gas before the pump stopped on the 2nd attempt. It clicked off just a little over 7 gallons. I pulled the nozzle out of the tank a little and was able to get about0. 4 gallons additional in the tank before it cut off again. The gas guage still showed as a couple of lines before being filled yet i could get no more gas in the tank. Also, it only showed my vehicle range as 419 miles. At 40+ mpg and a 14. 5 gallon tank, it should show over 580 miles to empty. There is definetely an issue with this gas tank. I have attached pictures of the before fill up, after fill up and the gas receipt showing the amount of gas i could get it the tank without risking an overflow. I really have no way of knowing how much gas is in the tank or how far i can expect to drive before running out of gas. I have more instances of this, all showing the same problem. |
