1 Tank Filler Pipe And Cap problem

Failure Date: 11/03/2010

I had a strong gasoline odor while in the vehicle. I put the truck in park, got out while the vehicle was running and noticed a fuel mist and fuel streaming down the fuel tank to the ground. When I shut off the truck, the stream slowed to a drip and then stopped. Fuel had sprayed under the frame and onto the exhaust pipe, luckily it did not ignite. This occurred within the same day. Toyota found that the main fuel line coming out of the fuel tank had failed with a pin hole forming. P/n 77209-0c010 (tube sub-assy, fuel). It is a rubber fuel line. Toyota dropped the fuel tank in order to change the fuel line. It was not covered under the corrosion recall since it was a rubber fuel line. I feel there should be a recall, it could have turned out to be a total loss of the vehicle and possible life had the fuel stream ignited.
