Fuel tank vapor canister tube location?

Ok, I spent the last couple of boring conference call hours searching for details to this, and couldn't find it. I'm an engineer - I crave specifics, not nebulousities. Blah blah.

I just filled the tank for the second time on our new Prius yesterday (wow, that's some fractured syntax...) It shut off at right around nine gallons, which I knew had to be short, based on miles on the tank versus displayed mpg. The nine gallons were on the slowest click of the nozzle. I figured I'd at least round it up to the next bit, got distracted, and it took another 1.85 gallons - total 10.92 gallons. Nothing burped, couldn't see gasoline in the neck, but it took a lot more than I expected it to.

Where, exactly, in a 2006, is the vapor recovery canister tube that is alleged to be in peril of dumping fuel into the canister? Is it just below the nozzle hole (as I expect it should be)? Is there indeed no valve to keep liquid out of the canister? I know that in the dark ages, any recovery tubes were at the top edge of the filler neck, at about 10 o'clock (or 2 o'clock, depending on your perspective), so it was danged near impossible to get fuel into them because of the angles involved. Is this no longer the case? I'm hoping someone with a shop manual can maybe post a picture to satisfy my compulsive nature...

Thanks for the help! By the bye, we're running a bit over 43mpg on the first two tanks, without really paying any attention to trying to conserve - one h*lluva lot better than the 17.6 in the Suburban!! Yay!

Hey, SeaSalsa, thanks!

From this, it appears that you'd have to fill the neck to the nozzle port to even get to the tube at the 9-o'clock position - the tube at 12-o'clock looks pretty well inaccessible. That answers my question.

Thanks again!
