gasoline leak running down side of tank

Greetings from Dan Curry,

I am the lucky owner of a 2002 Tacoma. It is now at 219,000 and still running great. However I do have a leak if I put in more than 5 galllons of gas. A tech person at the local Toyota dealer says it could be the fuel pump bracket area and the gas tank must be removed to check this out.

Any one out there been through this ordeal? My truck was recalled in around 2010 for a complete frame replacement. Is this another rust issue that could qualify for a recall? I just got another notice concerning the spare tire holder for a recall. Just thought I would see if others are facing this.

Regards Dan
