....that overfilling your gas tank will throw an engine code P1454?? yikes.....

 

Mine was above full the other day, and didnt give me an engine code.

 

 

heres an idea, don't overfill your gas tank.

 

No.

 

Reminds me of that scene in "Dumb and Dumber"

 

Why would I stop when the thingy clicks? That means they're not filling my tank. Still another 4 gallons to put in the hose running to the tank.

 

 

weird. this entire sub section is starting to remind me of that movie.

 

 

But I can go .24 miles further by squeezing in that last .1 gallon. I think that code is the fuel cap code.

 

On one of my previous TL's I always used to sit at the pump an extra 5+ minutes trying to get all that extra fuel in. I did it all the time and never once had an issue or got any codes. Some people will say its bad for your evap system, but again ive never seen it. I dont do it anymore on my current TL, but the only reason is just to save myself the extra time at the pump so im not sitting there holding the damn thing forever.
It is kind of ridiculous though that once the pump clicks there is still a good 3+ gallons left to go.

 

^you do realize that there is extra space in the tank for a reason right?

 

wat

 

I have overfill before several times never had this issue. Like SB stated dont overfill it.

 

I never fill up more than 1/4, less weight for racecar

 

^This

 

Well I read it on a Honda site. A guy got that code and a reply asked him if he overfilled the tank . I assume he didn't pull that diagnosis out of his butt. I did go a few extra clicks at the pump to round off my dollar amount.

 

how about get a OBDII scanner and pull to see the real cause that trigger the code, FIY if you have 07 some of them will throw code as engine running lean and will need to be reprogrammed by dealer.

 

I have an Obd2. I cleared the code. if it comes back I'll read it.but p1454 was the code. I'll let you know. thanks again

 

I over fill my tank sometime and it never throw any code.

 

go a few extra clicks to tighten the gas cap too

 

okay thanks. Will do.

 

Im still new but why do a lot of these dumb threads show up? Are people just trying to create convo or is it a thought that it is ok to post any random thought?

 

Not to mention a little better fuel economy when not racing.

 

I do

 

I'm glad you're not one of them

its what happens when a car gets VERY affordable.

 

^i do most of my shopping at good will. are you saying i have no sense of style?

 

P1454 code came back on today. I tightened the gas cap.
The code on my OBD 2 says: Manufacturer controls / auxiliary emission controls....

 

FTP sensor?
fuel tank pressure sensor??

 

I don't know... is that what it is?

 

Idunno either, hence my question marks.

i just googled p1454 and thats what comes up in the search results.
FTP or fuel tank pressure sensor.
