New Used Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thanks for the tips! I'll have to keep an eye on the water pump and check out the bolt. What are the symptoms of a bad pump? I've learned a lot about car repair in the last few years, but I'm still a novice. I basically learn something new each time the car breaks.

I live in central OK where there are no Chevron stations. Phillips 66, Sinclair and Love's are the most common out here, unless you go to one of the casinos and buy ethanol free fuel, but I do avoid the 'no names.' Can I put the Techron into an already filled tank? In the past I've always put it in before filling up. I have a 12 trip in a few weeks, so I'm not sure I want to risk the gauge being inaccurate. My Toyota certified cousin mechanic back in Indiana said not to run it below a half tank and I would prefer to have him fix it, but I don't relish the idea of needing to fill up so frequently on an already long trip and there are several long stretches where a gas station simply isn't available. Peace of mind vs peace of wallet.
