Fueling trick - How to get your Gen 2 to take gas

See the flange where you're putting your nozzle at 12 on that flange use a punch and punch two holes . They'll be close to a quarter inch holes or such I can usually run on high to 6.4 gallons then half squeezing to get to 8.4 takes me about 1.5 min to gas up SE USA

 

and pray that you don't create a spark?

Wth...............this has to be the absolute worst advice ever given.....

 

I’ve found occasional success by rotating the angle of the fuel nozzle to where it’s sideways and filling the tank slowly. But most of the time, it was just paying attention to which station and pump I was using when there were problems and using different ones after that. I always did my best to pump in at least 3 gallons at a time, since that’s what the car requires to detect that there’s added fuel in the tank.

 

Must be a US problem, our Gen 2 Prius takes the 50 ltr (13 us gal) from the fuel light flashing warning you will be walking within the next 10kms, to full, in one full trigger pull fill. Might need to change the angle a bit at a few service stns, but that's about it ......
