Yup. Thanks for the explanation. On our first AMEC Economy Run last August, we did the "stop after one click" deal and I was not happy with it. So for the second event in October I went with the "fill to the rim" deal. It was much more accurate. We did not use that for Hobbit's Prius though, because of the bladder. None of the other 14 vehicles had any check engine lights or any problems at all from filling to the rim. It takes a steady hand, some extra time, and patience to do it right though. Mistakes/overfills/spills will happen if you're in a hurry.

I know ther are some cars that can be damaged from overfilling. I've read that some Lexus products are effected. Are there any other's that are known to be sensitive?
