10.6++?

[pmath1]

The fuel tank capacity is listed at 10.6 US gallons. Has anyone put more than that in the tank at one time?

you shouldnt over fill your tank or you will screw up your tank's gas carbon vapor emission filter. It will get saturated with fuel and isnt good. After i get one click i round up to the nearest quarter and get it done with.

i do a double click, when it stops i wait then go again with less flow till it stops again, didnt at first but been doin it that way the last couple times when its warm enough to stand there longer.

I fill mine all the way to the top of the bottom of the column so I can see the gas in the fill tube. I've only filled it 3 times in two months, yeah, but I've put in 10.4, 10.6 and 10.2 WHICH is scary since the tanks holds 10.6 BUT the gas warning light just came on in every case. So basically when warning light comes on I got at best, 10 miles until empty. This is starting to bother me.

My warning light comes on when there are two bars left on the gauge. What's yours look like?

I stop filling when it clicks off.

Warning light comes on for me once I hit 40 miles of estimated range left.

I don't think I've ever put in more than 10 gallons. Though I'm a single click sort of dude, once it goes off, I slap the gas cap on and call it done.

I don't think that you are drawing a valid conclusion or following a wise practice in fueling up you car.

The fuel tank has a capaicity of 10.3 gallons, the fill tube probably holds another 1/4 to 1/2 gallon, the vapor control system which has containers to retain vapors from your gasoline and feed them back into the tank, probably hold another 1/4 gallon. So from these additional cavities, that are not intended to be "filled" with fuel, it might be possible to put more than 11 gallons into a completely empty tank.

But keep in mind these additional cavities are there to reduce the emissions from your car and for safety. Filling them up with gasoline to ensure, your car is "topped off" is not a good idea and can damage these emission control systems.

Yes, twice.
