2016 Tacoma leaking fuel!

My truck has only 8k miles on it. I filled up the tank day before yesterday and brought it back straight home from Costco. No crashes, no jumps, nothing. Have never been off-roading. I thought I smelled gas around the driveway yesterday, but couldn't figure it out. And today morning I saw a large puddle underneath. When I looked down below, there was a persistent leak ... drip drip drip. Called ToyotaCare, they are coming to tow the truck right now.

I want to know if anyone else has experienced this and if it's a known problem? Couldn't find anything through a google search. Thanks!

 

Good thing you had Toyota care pick it up. It's a scary thought driving a leaking car. Good that you caught it.

 

One time while driving behind a truck, I saw a metal part fall out and it went underneath my truck and I heard it hit. Once I got to work, I smelled gas and it was leaking out. It put a small hole in my gas tank.

 

Damn man. Best of luck. Let us know what the cause was.

 

Hoping for a good resolution OP.

Hope some jokers didn't try to drill into your tank to siphon fuel.

 

I believe today morning would be this morning.

Leaking fuel no good. Last time I saw this was because fuel robbers cut the fuel hose to siphon the tank.

Keep us updated as to what happens.

 

Saw something similar to this a while back, guy noticed his mpg went down dramatically and found fuel under the truck.

 

Did you not go look for the leak?

 

They all do that.

 

Yup. Perfectly normal.

 

That ^^^ must be true since my truck only gets 16.5mpg.... I'm gonna go look for my video of the gas leak right now.... I think I lost it.....

 

i do recall a thread a while back about someone leaking fuel as well.

 

Plenty of gas leaking from my truck, it was determined to be coming from a 52 year old man with an unhealthy diet.

 

No Smoking within 100' bumper sticker might help in the future... Thank goodness no one was hurt.

 

Better get the gas off the asphalt drive, wash it with a hose . If you don't it will destroy the asphalt......I have been down this road, gas and asphalt es no bueno.

 

Yup, remember two threads on it. Came down the back side of engine near firewall.

 

Yep that's the one. Thought he was just getting terrible mpg until he realized he was pissing fuel

 

Yeah... Me thinks this OP is "leaking gas" all right....!!!! But I cannot smell him...
