    Howdy ya'll, I'm just dipping my toe in the Toyota water, and have a problem that has me stumped. I've got almost 40 yrs automotive experience, and have never run across this, and need some heeeeeeellllllllllllllppppppppppp! I bought this 1 owner 4x4 pickup almost a year ago and love it. I've had zero issues until now. I filled up the tank Wednesday am on the way to work. I thought I smelled gas, but wrote it off to a fresh fill up. I didn't smell anything on the way home Wednesday. On the way to work on Thursday, I definitely smelled raw gas. When I left work Thursday, I let the truck run and saw gas coming from the fuel pump. OK, nbd, I picked up a pump on the way home. I swapped it out in less than 15 minutes ( far easier than the GM stuff I'm used to ), verified that there was no leaks. I drove it to work on Friday, no leaks/no smells. When I got off Friday afternoon, I could see/smell gas leaking from 20' away. I drove it home and pondered the problem. It was leaking the same way as the old pump. I put new fuel hoses on the pump this am, and now it won't run at all. It cranks and runs for a moment, and then dies. What gives?? Thanks in advance for any help, Big Hank

    So, I got it running by disconnecting both of the charcoal canisters, and blew air through the lines, but I'm still getting a little gas leak from around the diaphragm seam on the fuel pump after I shut the truck off. I have the gas cap barely on, so it can vent. Any ideas???????????????
