Default This did not happen on my first TT, so I guess it was due >>>
My last 2 fill-ups only allowed about 11-11.5 (usually its about 13-14 gallons) gallons of gas. Yesterday I stopped by 2 other pumps to see if they could top it off, but their filler kept clicking off.

If it was the in-tank fuel sender, I would think the car would not run to empty.

Any ideas?

Default hit it with Techron and see what happens thereafter.
and if it still does it...try another bottle of Techron. hopefully, that will clear it up.

Is the gauge reading not full, or you are not getting as much gas into the tank?

Default 2 possibilities...>
1) The infamous inaccurate fuel gage (Techron fix)

2) A blocked tank vent not allowing a complete fill (rarer)
