Fuel gauge error, deformed fuel tank

Fuel gauge error, deformed fuel tank

Conditions

It is possible on certain cars that the hose on the EVAP canister has been bent due to incorrect fitting on the production line. This may block the system and cause a number of faults that cannot normally be traced to the problem.

Fault symptoms

- DTC P0172

- Fuel gauge reading incorrect

- The fuel tank can be so deformed that it may even be completely compressed after a time. Check the pump and fuel sensor.

Procedure

If a car shows one or more of the problems described above, check the hoses on the EVAP canister and adjust them to their correct positions if necessary. See illustration.
