Fuel tank has hair line cracks which causes fuel leakages. Please feel free to provide any further details.

Second incident of gas tank leaking. First leak was welded by personal mechanic. He indicated a separate component was rubbing on the gas tank, causing a hole to form. Since the exhaust system is located in such close proximity to the fuel tank, a severe fire hazard exists, which could become life threatening.

Within an 18-month period gas tank has been replaced twice due to leakage.

Gas tank seam split causing fuel to not drip but stream down onto exhuast pipe, car has been driven approximantly 30-40 miles aday under this circumstance until found, it a wonder that the vehicle did not catch fire or explode, was unawear of this problem until notice of gas on driveway, had been smelling gas ever since the motor was replaced in the vehicle at 43,000 at which point the motor had a thrown rod and was replaced by dealer, during the replacement the host that was used to replace motor leaked causing the new motor to fall into the car, thus crushing the oil pan, not sure if that incident strained the gas lines causing the seam to split in gas tank but it sure does seem odd that the tank is spilt at only 59,000 miles, Toyota claims that there is a 2 week wait peroid on the tank for this vehicle quote " there on national backorder" which also makes me think that others have had a simliar problem with the gas tank leaking in this vehicle, also please note that I was informed by the Ohio epa station that most 90-95 corrollas failed the epa gude lines on one test our vehicle failed the hydrocarbon which the max was 220 and this vehicle was 858, thats a considerable difference I have my wife and kids in this vehcile throuhout the day and thinking that they could have been seriuosly injured or killed by the gas leak concerns me very much.
