I'm an automotive performance engineer, although in the days of carburetors it wasn't as devastating to the fuel system, however that primitive fuel delivery system ended in the early 90s I know how devastating to your fuel system it is to force your fuel tank to fill up your charcoal canister with liquid gasoline. I purchased my car used, and although it does pass smog. I've never seen it complete that evaporative system emissions readiness when using my onboard Diagnostics uplink. I believe that's not a mandatory emissions readiness for smog check in California, so it's allowed to pass with that system not ready. However I'm pretty sure the genius I purchased it from very likely reinitiated the pump nozzle Afters automatically shut off from the gasoline backing up into it. When I used to see my friends do that I would threaten to break their legs.
These videos should have a different thumbnail to differentiate them from the usual videos
Back in the day, I used to almost overfill gas tank everytime which is why it also destroyed the fuel cap.
Lesson learned hard way 😂😂
I didn't see anything about the different octane fuels as mentioned in the description.

What a revelation. I have been pumping up to 1.5 gallons of "top-off" diesel into my aftermarket "Titan Tank". Never more.
I topped off my gas for years! And let me tell you! I have gotten 150 miles extra!!! Before the gas needle gets off the full gauge! Going on 13 years and still no problems🤷🏿♂️
I have a 2020 avalon TRD it's rated for 31 mph on highway. I recently switched the air filter to a performance K&N air filter. Between San Antonio and Houston I averaged 35.7 mph!!!
Can an air filter really impact mphs on highway?
FYI… To keep your car's vapor canister from getting raw gasoline in it if you top off your tank would require someone to invent an .11¢ check valve. Oh wait…. that was invented in the 1800's. This makes it clear why car manufacturers won't install one in your evap system… so you unnecessarily cause damage to your car that could easily be avoided. I installed one on my 99 Camry and have been filling it to the brim w/o a problem for decades now. I can squeeze at least an additional 55 miles out of my tank by doing this, and since I drive 400 miles / week, it's worth it to me to do this. Your results may vary.
Yep had a big drive to go on my 2012 corolla.Topped it off real good. Drove it for a day second day check engine light on.Evap system fault 600 dollars later
