My 2004 Toyota Tundra must be manually attended when pumping fuel. If the pump is set to automatically pump until the tank is full, the pump will stop fueling before the tank is full and occasionally stops with such force that the pump jumps out of it's position in the vehicle and onto the ground spilling gas.

I have a 2002 Toyota Tundra that is leaking gas. Initially I noticed a fuel smell when I walked by the truck which progressed to seeing fuel on the ground. If I put too much gas in the truck, over 1/2 tank, you can see the fuel leaking through the 4x4 fuel tank protective cover. I had the truck put on a lift and was told that fuel was leaking from the seam of the tank. I recently took my truck to Toyota in response to the recall re:excessive frame rust and my truck passed that inspection. I have less than 51,000 miles on this truck and I am afraid to drive it on the highway. I have lived in MA for 22 years and have never had a fuel tank problem. On 04/06/10 I took my truck to a required yearly inspection. My check engine light was on and the garage told me that my vehicle had failed the emissions test. I have been following other owners reports online and have noticed that more people are reporting leaking fuel tanks. Extensive research indicates that aftermarket gas tanks are not available for this model/year so I must have Toyota either do the work, or minimally, get the part from them. Based on their recent reputation, I am not thrilled about taking my truck back to them. I have 60 days from the failure date to get it repaired and reinspected to avoid losing my registration! I need this truck to be safe for me and all the other drivers that I encounter. Can you please look into this safety concern?.

The fill neck on the gas tank is very difficult to put gas into my truck. I must use a screwdriver at times to fill my gas tank. I feel that this would be very dangerous at a service station, because that if a spark from the screwdriver being forced into the fill neck could ignite the fumes.

Gas tank had to be replaced due to severe corrosion. The tank was leaking fuel prior to replacement. The Toyota dealer stated the entire undercarriage was extremely rusted.

I have been aware of problems with early model Toyota Tundra frame rust problems and have followed with interest Toyota's response [none]however, I feel obliged to inform you that on Friday 25th the gas tank straps failed while driving and the gas tank fell of the vehicle as luck would have it I was slowing down to make a turn so the consequences were limited. But, 30 seconds earlier at 55 mph this most likely would not have been a limited consequence situation. Updated ivoq 06/30/10.
