2010 Toyota Prius: Fuel Filler Door & Gas Cap

[applesmnch2]

wait, there's a problem with the fueling for the 2010 prius? my family wants to get a 2011 prius so...............idk, what to do now

[denisrenelara]

is it just me or the car shakes on the video?

[btbonline]

@sbergman27 No it doesn't - mine's a 2010 Prius and everyone I else I know who has one says they have the same problem and yet the dealers deny there is an issue. The only way to get it to fill is to rotate the filler nozzle 180 degrees so it is upside down. So next time you see a Prius driver doing this at the gas station you'll know why.

[sbergman27]

Toyota certainly has a low opinion of the intelligence Prius owners.

ohh so there's where i put my cap on!! lmfao i usually just leave it hanging >_>;

FUEL GOES IN CAR< WUT!?

[cob32187]

Are people really this stupid that they need a video on how to do this?  If you need instructions on this, you do not need to be behind the wheel of any moving vehicle.

@cob32187 Some manufacturers differ; on Ford/Chrysler/GM's, they don't have a remote gas door opener, and on many Fords, they have no gas cap (they use a valve that opens when you insert the nozzle for a gas pump in).

[btbonline]

It misses the bit where you stand there for ages like a complete **** with the pump going click click click click unless you put the fuel in one drip at a time because those idiots at Toyota made a gas tank you can't bloody fill!!

Takes me longer to fill mine than it does to empty it - great car but CRAP gas tank design!

[sbergman27]

@btbonline As of 2010, the Prius has a real gas tank instead of that awful bladder thing. I suspect that probably helps.

Thanks for all these dozens of great videos on the 3rd Generation Prius! Very educational and informative! I love my new 2010 Prius!
