Tank Assembly problems of the 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse

The contact owns a 2000 mitsubhisi Eclipse. The contact was refueling when fuel emitted from the gas tank. The contact believed the failure could have occurred due to the build up of rust near the tank. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer but the manufacturer was contacted and the vehicle was repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 95,000 and the current mileage was 100,000.

1. I was filling my gas tank the other day when I spotted a hue leak under the car. 2. The filler tube on my Mitsubishi Eclipse 2000 is totally rusted (dealer report) after not even 8 years since manufacturer. The gas filler is cracked. This is a high risk to both myself and other traffic participants since a leak in the gas system due to the inappropriate manufacturing (totally rust in less than 8 years) could result into something very tragic. 3 immediately after the leak has been seen I took the car to the Mitsubishi dealership, they found the problem described above and they said that the entire gas filling circuit must be replaced since it is rusted and deteriorated.
