Vehicle fuel lines had rusted and leaked gasoline necessitating replacement approx 1 year ago. Currently, as of 06/18/2012, there is "excessive rust for miles and age of car" (on entire frame and suspension components per mechanic exam). The lower control arms have holes caused by rust that could affect control of vehicle. This is similar to recall of same vintage Toyota Tacoma pickup trucks.
Full line rusted and leaked gasoline over driveway. Required replacement of fuel lines, brackets, gaskets and fuel tube. Fuel tank needed to be removed. Entire problem caused by rust. Damage due to gas leakage on macadam driveway.
Gas leaking from fuel line attached to the fuel pump assembly, out side of the gas tank. Also gas tank had a leak from vibration or rubbing on gas tank straps. It will still leak when filled past a 1/2 tank. To fix the above fuel line leak the metal lines were cut and replaced with high pressure rubber fuel hose. The gas tank leak has not been repaired.
