I've notcied that my BRZ clicks off around 3/4 gallon from full as well. So you need to add this to the math as well, so really, if the tank is 12.5 gallons, and you cant fill the gallon almost, not leaving much to actually fill. I will typical drive about 20 miles after the gas light clicks on, and my car will never take more than ~11.5-12 gallons |

1) Possibility of fuel spillage 2) If the pump is equipped with a vapor recovery mechanism, you could be increasing the cost while the fuel goes back into the station's tank. This could also damage the station's system. 3) All passenger cars produced after 2000 have an onboard refueling vapor recovery system. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onboar...vapor_recovery) Apparently topping off can result in raw fuel getting into a system designed for vapor, causing damage to both it and the engine.

Do you still have the stock Purge valve solenoid connected or are you running an EBCS?

Ding ding ding. It could be a shorter aftermarket pump so the pickup is not sitting as low in the tank as the OEM pump and thus you no longer have access to that fuel at the bottom of the tank.

11.5 Gallons as op stated means there's more or less room for 2 gallons. If he was at 2 gallons or so, he shouldn't have gone oog(out of gas). Thus, I was wondering if this problem was unique to him? For the book, I do not advocate for topping off. Nor for letting your gas tank reach "E." Once I am bit bellow 1/4 I pump.
