    They claim sand intrusion to gas tank. They claim they won't cover it.

    Exactly my thoughts. Supposed to be a sealed unit. The first 2 pics on the sales brochure is a truck in the dunes.

    Sand in the gas tank?? Ugh, sounds like a BS 'we can't figure this out and we aren't making any money trying to do so, let's find a way to make it sound like he voided his warranty'. That sucks.

    No chance of the water getting the sand in there?

    Lots of guys driving on dunes. No issues like you had, the difference is they stayed dry.

    No sign of water in the tank? I guess that would answer that.

    I'm smartassed enough to ask them to "replicate it."
    They seem to like that little phrase.

    Seems like they are making excuses now. No way for sand to get in there.

    Then they might tell you that the brochure photos are on a closed course for demonstration purposes only.

    Then start pulling up the Tacoma crawl videos...
    Honestly, I couldn't see myself dignifying their diagnosis by arguing this point with them.

    That's exactly what they'll say.

    What you need to do is tell them you won't pay for shit unless they can prove its sand that caused it, and the have prove the sand can get in.
