whats the deal with pumping gas on the xb it thinks the tank is full....
is scion going to do a recall on this......or is there something i can do to make it better??
thanks

 

Recall? Is this a MASS problem? Because I haven't heard about it.

 

yea it is a MASS problem. there is a tsb on it, go back to your dealer, adn tell them you want the tsb on teh gas tank and any other tsbs while they are at it

 

what is a "tsb"?

 

Toyota service bulletin

 

Acyually it's a Technical Service Bulletin, but whatever.

 

where do you guys get the info on TSBs? the only ones I can find are for the 2004 xb (no 2005 data out yet).

The 2004 data doesn't seem to mention that particular problem unless that's what
"Engine Controls - O2 Sensor Threshold Monitor Values" meant.

I got the data from alldata.com (or autozones for professionals site which goes to the same place):

http://www.alldata.com/TSB/86/04860201.html

 

ohh man I forgot the site, but it listed tons of them

 

Yeap my 2004 xB has this problem, and hasn't really bothered me until today, when it was 30 degrees outside...

 

Yea, my 2005 xB has been doing that. It acts like its full right when i first start pumping gas. I gotta play around with it until it gets into a more comfortable position or something. I haven't had that problem until it started getting cold.

 

This should help:

Damn, I thought it was the pump itself. Good thing I read these forums

I found if I just pulled the nozzle out a little bit it was fine.

 

Yea, there is a Technical Service Bulletin out about that same thing. I have the numbers at home. It covers all years and is free to fix from the dealer if you complain. If I'm not mistaken, it was fixed on a production run after a certain VIN number. Your dealer will know.

 

i alway thought it was crappy pumps. I had the same thing with the old Dynasty,

 

yup. I've had both mine replaced.. it's like a little piece of heaven under the back seat.

 

So what are they really replacing? is it a new fill tube? bc I may not worry with this, I have delt with this problem from the start, April 7, 04' and 32,000 miles on it so I have pumped a lot of gas and have learned to deal with it. I s it a warrenty thing or is it an anytine I get up there thing?

 

I would have it done before warrenty runs out to be safe.

 

they replace the tank and the filler tube. My guess is the tube goes in a new place in the tank to make it flow right, so they have to replace both. It's under warranty. (free to you)

 

Thanx, a bunch

 

I have the same problem inmy 05. I willhave to check into that
