Problems with 2002 Toyota Tacoma FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

My fuel tank is rusted completely through to the point of leaking gas. i know toyota has recalled the frame (replaced) and the spare tire holder (not yet replaced) due to rust. seems like the whole underside is rusting out. *tr

Gas tank shield severely rusted. under side of gastank is protected by a shield/skid plate. it is rusted so badly that when hit with a hammer the hammer goes right through. presumably this shield is to protect the gas tank from debris and stones especially if the truck is used off road. i discovered this as i was inspecting the underside of the truck before dropping the truck off at the dealer to have the frame replaced. in addition to this, it is apparent that the drive axle and differential housing also have severe rust. if tapped with a hammer the rust comes of in sheets. the parking brakes actuating levers have rusted in place and can no longer be used. there appears to be more to this rust than simple frame rust. the rust is pervasive through out the underside of the truck. *tr

I was not notified of several recalls on my 2002 toyota tacoma truck. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 toyota tacoma. the contact stated that he cannot put fuel in the gas tank of his vehicle without the pump shutting off every tenth of a gallon. he stated that he has to pull the lever 141 times to fill up his gas tank. the failure occurs every times he attempts to get gas and at any fuel station. the current mileage was 33,000 and failure mileage was 30,000. updated 02-04-08. *kb
