- 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.
