Gas tank no longer fills completely in a single squeeze. Each squeeze of the pump only fills up maybe a.25 gallon at a squeeze if I am lucky, but typically less. This results in a complete fill up taking close to a half hour. There are numerous posts on forums such as https://www.tundras.com/threads/gas-filling-problem.38449/, https://www.tundras.com/threads/gas-tank-roll-over-valve-stuck-causes-hard-fuelling-anyone-else.42535/, and many others regarding this issue, with no response from dealers other than sorry. This sounds like a pure manufacturing issue if so many people have issues with their tanks, in a similar fashion.

Fuel gauge provides false inaccurate reading, resulting in stranded situation when fuel runs out. Toyota is aware is issue and has only issued a TSB for limited years when the problem is more wide spread. My daughter has been stranded several times.

  • 1,500 miles
I purchased Toyota Tundra on 6 Nov 2015. Since owning the vehicle I have been getting 460 miles to a full tank of gas (38 gallon tank). Those numbers equate to 12mpg in fuel economy estimates. I picked the vehicle up on 6 nov2015. The truck had a full tank of gas. The fuel efficiency read 570 mile for a full tank of gas. On 13 Nov I drove the vehicle to Florida. Every time I filed up the truck with fuel the fuel efficiency reading started to decline. On the first three full tank of gas, the reading was 540 and 520 miles for a full tank of gas on 15 November. I took the vehicle to the dealership on or about 17 Nov. The service department plugged the vehicle up to a computer. The computer sent out a report that showed that the vehicle was getting 18 mpg. The service personnel told me that I would be doing well if I got 14mpg. Based on their comments I was not to expect anything over 15mpg over the highway. On 25 Nov, I drove the vehicle to Florida. I decided to manually track the mileage in regard to a full tank of gas with the use of the trip counter. I took pictures of the vehicle only registering 12mpg on a full tank of gas. On a full 38 gallon tank, I was only able to drive 460 miles per tank. That equate to 12mpg. The driving condition was 74-78 degrees; driving on I95; there was only three passengers in the vehicle. I used 89 octane graded gas.
