Typical fuel system symptoms owners report

Owners report the fuel tank will not accept a full fill-up, stopping around 9 to 10 gallons instead of the advertised 14.5-gallon capacity.
Several drivers say the pump nozzle clicks off early and repeated slow top-offs only add a couple more gallons, cutting driving range well below advertised figures.
Some owners describe the fuel gauge as inaccurate, showing more fuel remaining than is actually in the tank, which they say misrepresents range and risks being stranded.
One owner reported the engine shut off while driving and the check engine light came on, later traced to a faulty fuel pump.
A few complaints link the reduced fillable capacity directly to lower real-world MPG and shorter range than Toyota's stated figures for the RAV4 hybrid.
