hi, this's my first thread, I bought a vandalized Honda fit 2015, last thing that I found that the someone tried to stuff sugar on the gas pipe to damaged the engine (it doesn't), the good thing is that the Honda fit gas pipe is too long with many curves, the sugar accumulated in the middle of the pipe making a blockage.
anyway I had to remove the gas pipe to clean is and put it back, I took some pictures and share it with you, it might help you to do other maintenance.

 

Thanks for the great pictures.

Nice Fit anatomy lesson. Thanks for the photos.

 

Nice pictures! The gearhead in me wants to add an auxiliary tank somewhere along that loooooong fill circuit. The way the long pipe restricts flow means the fuel backs up and shuts off the nozzle when there is still 2 gallons of capacity left! That's 70+ miles!

 

FWIW fuel systems need an air gap at the top of the tank for the eval system to work correctly and not get ruined (It typically is bad to fill the charcoal canniest full of fuel...)

 

i like this idea.


OP. curious how much u paid for this vandalized car.

 

This is true, but modern tanks have the air space built in above the fill vent and this space cannot be filled with fuel. Otherwise, a slow pump could "overfill" the tank before shutoff. It's pretty idiot-proof

The EVAP canister is on the firewall above the level of the tank. You can't get gasoline into the canister by overfilling. Even if you filled it all the way to the brim and the gasoline then expanded there is still enough vapor space in the tank to keep gas out of the canister.

When I fill, the tank always takes slightly less than 2 gallons after auto-shut-off. I always drive a few miles after filling, so the fill pipe doesn't stay full for long. I typically get 350-370 miles from a tank.
