    those blue caps or for shooting across the shop with air gun.

    My wife does that crap to fill till it runs out …..I tell her all not good to do that

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Burrito says:

    If I hadn't seen for my own eyes my wheels having play in them and thinking about that time I hit a pothole in an awful nasty manner, I probably would have accused the overpriced chain store that I have to go get my wheels aligned and tires balanced at of trying to rip me off. It helps to think back on these things before flipping your shit and making an ass out of yourself.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frank Vetere says:

    I like to smoke machine thing I wish we had one of our shop. We just had to look at everything. That would have came in handy.

    Scotty Kilmer actually did a video in this as well. Nice to see it in real time.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Broderick says:

    Great work in solving the issue, real perseverance & you have probably saved him more money & pain.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Pilgrim says:

    You should really get the fluke magnetic strap for that meter. Comes in so handy under the car

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Llewellyn Lombard says:

    Normally these type of people are "KNOW ALLS" that never have achieved anything in life except riding on opportunities. You on the other hand have gone out of your way to lay the proof on the table. You are a thorough GENTLEMAN concerning your situation. Well done, you are the winner.

    Really not a fan of Toyota's, I owned a Corolla 4cyc. stick rear wheel drive 100 dollar car to run around with. I junked it. But just the same. I'm a NASCAR Fan, and Toyota doesn't make and have Never made a V8 powered RWD car.. yet they are in NASCAR…. Why? they bought their way in… But that's a hole other thing…. Like your Video's…

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Marciniak says:

    It’s a shame that auto mechanics, in general, are not always trusted, sometimes for good reason. In addition, some people just don’t trust anyone.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Allen says:

    Being 80 MYSELF , Dad taught me to " top off" , my gas tank , long before , evap systems were invented !

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pedro Dones says:

    The customer isn't always right,

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris laub says:

    That guy didn't like hearing he is the reason why the car is messed up.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Miner says:

    So many people have been ripped off by crooked and lousy mechanics I can understand the customers mind set. BUT you are doing everything right! In the end it's the customers loss!

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Proud Liberal Dad says:

    I am sure the customer was told this by the other company that replaced the canister the first time that it happened again but he thinks he knows better. I was saying purge canister right after you showed the gas gauge because unless he just bought gas the gauge would not be pegged like that and honestly if no smoke comes out of the gas fill it is because the raw gas in the canister is stopping it was my thought. If I am wrong I would like to hear why.
    You did a hell of a job with the research you did, he might not thank you but we do!

    you are just like a farmer. you are outstanding in your field! you and the smoke machine are amazing. technology is changing so fast.

    my hat is off to you. great video.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jeannette kane says:

    some people in this world are just too iignorant or perhaps they are thinking process deprived either way they sure can piss ya off simply by speaking to you. sorry he was so rude to you cuz you seem like such a kind fella

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Torres says:

    Ray we can’t win them all but take pride in the fact that you taught us an important lesson which is once you hear that click when filling your gas tank stop done deal. I hope you gave him the video and he gets to see the dedication and attention to detail you give to these cars and trucks god bless.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Bland says:

    I remember when we got our Prius in 2004, we received stern warnings about not overfilling the gas tank for this very reason.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars stan magner says:

    if you were local id go to you and im anul about my cars that customer will be back after watching the vid. he should apoligize but thats a perfect world another great vid thax

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tuck Frudeau The Cowardly Soyboy Dictastor says:

    Well with Brandon's fuel price hike I'm sure there'll be more people with empty tanks rather than them being overfilled.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sam Jackson says:

    .

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jack O'Neill says:

    How frustrating to spend that amount of time for nothing.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Star Falx says:

    I've seen people rocking their cars and keep filling gas. I see the laziness to revisit the gas station.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wes Gregg says:

    Some people should be walking.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David P says:

    You did good and he is wrong. Too bad for him. But his mind will change soon. Great JOB!

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MMCUSN says:

    The reluctance of the owner to divulge all the info at the outset is a sure red flag. They don't know what is going on with their vehicle but, they want to tell you you're wrong. 💩4🧠

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael McLoughlin says:

    For sure I tried to round out my fuel cost to an even number. Click, click and another click. While this customer did not appreciate it your viewers did. I for one learned a valuable lesson and no longer try to overfill

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars chris ziemba says:

    by all the response even if the customer is maybe unable to learn. you did a valuable service to your viewers. i will always stop on the first click.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars lea says:

    Should of sent him the whole vidio and told him to watch it

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars P H says:

    The problem is also exacerbated by the massive number of automotive-malpractice that happens every day. So many people getting ripped off by bad and dishonest mechanics, that no one should be surprised when the customer thinks they are getting ripped off. I have definitely been ripped off personally many times. Now, I just do all my own work and it gets done right every time and for a fraction of the cost. When I am no longer physically able to do my own work, I will just lease Japanese cars and turn them in at the end of every lease term.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Celtic Gale says:

    I certainly won’t be overfilling my tank, I stop at one click anyway. It also thought me things to look out for

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Me Blake says:

    Did your scan tool check the tank vent?

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jt Smith says:

    Subscribed after I heard "AvE" lingo.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TheRealZexAlex says:

    I have always overfilled all my cars all my life. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. …100 cliks until i can actually see the gas (diesel). Call it "real top up" Never had problems. But now I will stop doing it.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Junky Magi says:

    I'm on the mechanic's side here and I don't know if he tried analogies to explain the situation, like, for example, comparing putting too much oil in the engine, which would cause major oil leaks and damage to sensors and a LOT of gaskets would need to be replaced because if the oil is high enough that the crankshaft would be slamming into the oil hundreds of times a second (counter-weights/protrusions/bottom of each piston) causing oil to be slammed around inside the oil pan and up into the undersides of the pistons.
    Fluid containers all have a "F" full marking, why? Because if you go past that "F" bad things can, and will, happen.
    The "F" on the gas gauge is to keep the gas level low enough so that the vent tubes start "sucking" liquid gas instead of what they are designed to carry, VAPORS. There are dozens of examples.
    Friend of mine, while the car was COLD, filled up the coolant reservoir ALL the way then started it and let it idle for a while. When the engine warmed up, of course the coolant expanded a bit and caused the reservoir to overflow. Not a huge issue, except his 4yo little girl had just gotten a kitten for her birthday and the coolant pooled under the car (only a few ounces, but for a tiny kitten, enough and then some to kill a tiny kitten. Kitten thinks it's a treat (a LOT of coolants have glycerin mixed in which has a sweet taste) and laps up quite a bit, ending up getting very sick on the little girl's bed and then dying in front of the girl. They know it was the coolant because of the yellowish vomit and the smell of coolant from her bed.
    The tanks have a "Fill to HERE—– when cold" that was perfectly visible but completely ignored, causing his little girl, who'd only had the kitten for a few days, to be completely devastated. This was over 10 years ago and as far as I can remember, they tried getting her other pets but she would have nothing to do with any of them… she was convinced

    Sorry about the wall of text but wanted to be sure I got my point across, ignoring warnings and labels on machinery can, and usually does, end up with you having a BAD time…

    people which drives Toyotas have lost the control over their lifes.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars steven chandler says:

    I enjoyed the video. Later

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mongo Mongo says:

    way cool that you will supply a video

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gibson J50 says:

    One thing is for sure. The customer has never read the owners manual. Over filling the fuel tank is covered in plain English. Maybe , he just can't read.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kathleen Kelly-Simpson says:

    If I stopped at the first click, on both my 2003 VW New Beetle, or my 2001 Corolla, I'd only ever have 1/2 a tank. Both cars "burp" after the first click.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charles Furgeson says:

    Old school mechanic, I really enjoy watching new school technicians Diagnostics , great explanations on what your doing.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars townhall05446 says:

    Defective fuel cap on these cars and other Toyota / Lexus models can cause numerous dash warning lights to come on. Just went through this with my 2005 ES330. New gas cap, all fixed.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Villere says:

    The minute I saw they had a brand new canister and vent valve I had my suspicions. I’ve run into this a couple of times. Typically I’ve found that the over flow/vent line to the tank has been particularly or completely clogged so the gasoline backs up into the canister before it should, while filling up.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Herbert Franco says:

    Good job Rainman!

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Spaghetti says:

    i don't know what they are called on the rear suspension but are those bars supposed to be bent like that?

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jon resanovich says:

    Did you get your vice grips under the car??

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jojofixer says:

    How many past customers watch their video?

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Willis Chin says:

    The guy must not have needed a new evap canister to begin with. More angry with himself and the previous shop
