Problem filling up at gas station

Re: Problem filling up at gas station
Press the button inside the car
If the flap opens, the spring works
If the flap doesn't, the spring is broken or missing
Replace it.
It's an $8 (??) part available at Toyota...an average DIY-er can replace it in approximately 90 seconds (not including time spent opening the box)...YMMV

a) where is the spring, specifically? [yes, I've looked - I used to be an engineer on >US$10M automated semiconductor manufacturing equipment, its not obvious] Maybe a picture?
b) What is the part number if I buy it at my local dealer?
Thanks and regards.

The dealer will know the part number
watch this
Most of the dealers or parts guys will pop it in for no charge (YMMV). Just ask the guy when you pick up the spring, I'm sure he'll help

Re: Problem filling up at gas station
Anyone else notice this? The nozzle shuts off after getting less than a tenth of a gallon. I've noticed it on the "Elephant Trunk" type vapor recovery nozzles, because that's the only ones we've used in the last few months. I only have to fill up once a month, we don't drive a lot.
But it turns a trip for gas into real pain in the butt.
Anyone else seen this?
