Tagged: 0 Thread(s). Quoted: 0 Post(s). The Prius gas tank is fitted with an internal bladder to prevent gas fumes from leaking into the air. It does create the problem of inconsistent gasoline fill-ups. 1 - The back pressure from the tank can cause early shutoff of the nossle. (don't overfill as gasoline can spurt out due to bladder pressure). 2 - In cold weather, the bladder gets stiff reducing the effective tank capacity. As was stated before the nominal tank capacity is 11.9 gallons.
Letâs look at the case of the 2013 Toyota Corolla. Its gas tank holds 13.2 gallons, so 10 percent of that is about 1.3 gallons. If you multiply that with the carâs 29 mpg rating in combined driving conditions, you get 37.7, so you can likely get an additional 37 miles from your car after the warning comes on.
