mini-wini-dan Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Recently discovered that If I put more than 6 gallons in my Tacoma I have a leak running down the side of the tank. It is hard to see where it is coming from and I know that I will need to remove the tank to see what is happening. Anyone had this problem on a 2002 Tacoma? Dealer service tech suspects fuel pump bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Try a search on tacomaworld.com I don't think it was common problem my old 94 had rotted fuel lines that leaked huge amounts of fuel as soon as I turned the key on but the 97 had no issues even at 285K miles. The pump is in the tank. I wonder what the tech is talking about maybe they did have fuel line problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydancer2992 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Many Toyota's have a hatch just above the fuel tank that allows changing out the fuel pump and sender. Check under your rear seat or cargo area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Toyota Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 i wonder if it could be the filler neck hose. A common thing on older toyotas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini-wini-dan Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Unfortunately there is no access from above. The tank must be dropped to see what is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
