Tank Assembly problems of the 2000 Toyota 4Runner

When I fill my car up it only takes 12 gallons of gas. Tank size is 18. 5.

I recently bought this car and noticed that the fuel gauge is reading full tank. After driving the car for about 00 miles, my car stalled on me in the middle of a busy highway. Only to find out that I was out of gasoline. I was lucky, I did not get hit.

The fuel gauge reads empty when there are 5 gallons left in the gas tank. Toyota says TSB el010-00 addresses known defective 1999 and 2000 4runner fuel gauges. My vehicle is a few months and miles out of warranty so toy will not pay for fix. Some addressed there is no fuel in tank even though fuel gauge reads 1/2. This cause vehicle stalls and dies on freeway almost causing wreck.

Consumer can smell fuel. Dealership is aware of problem.

Specifications on vehicle indicate 18. 5 gal. Tank, but only can fill to 15 gals. Fuel gauge warning light comes on with 3-5 gallons still in the tank. Fuel gauge indicator not proportionate with gas left in the tank.

Fuel guage defective admitted by Toyota (no current solution).

Fuel tank does not fill up to the advertised 18. 5 gallons. When the fuel gace is on empty, it only fills up to 14. 5 gallons.

The fuel gauge is inaccurate. It did not read the right amount of gas in the vehicle. Dealer has been contacted, and stated their was nothing that could be done.

Fuel guage does not function properly.
