Potential Fire Issue

[surf fishing offroader]

just wanted to raise awareness about an issue I ran into. fuel line disconnected from the gas tank to the hard line on the body (see dealer comments attached), causing gas to leak from the tank area

luckily it was raining pretty heavy when the car failed, or the gas near the hot exhaust could have been bad

 

[Impatient]

Dang man, hate to hear that. Glad you’re ok and they worked out what happened. Hopefully a quick and easy fix.

See! That’s what happens when you remove the iforce MAX badge!

Too soon?

What factory was this built in? And who wasthe inspector? I hope it wasn’t inspector number 28 because that SOB is worthless.

Are you having problems?

Are you having problems?

No, just a little humor.

Can you post a pic of the disconnect if you snapped one?

The amount of people asking about that stupid badge is making my head hurt!

If you remove that badge, can you use regular gas?

This is never good. I am still waiting for my FE LC to come in. Landed in Portland in April. I expect Toyota will fix all of these issues, but, our time is worth a lot and if we spend too much time helping them get the bugs out of their FE, they might want to offer some form of compensation.

So which factory, Tahara or Hino?

Who the F is #28?

Why am I only getting 14mpg since i've removed the badge?

You need to put V8 badge so you can get 30 MPG

All jokes aside, it would be a good idea for us to check to confirm ours are ok. Does anyone have a good pic or instructions on how to check?

That same issue happened to me yesterday and was told that they are going to do a diagnostic due that I’m literally the first customer at the dealer I purchased mine to have happened.

I guess is just a waiting game to see how long it would take for mine to be fix. Not sure if you also got the same errors, but mine was saying the power steering, and the hybrid system fail.

I replaced mine with Cummins badge.... I only put diesel #2 in tank now with huge gains in MPG

It seems there have been 2 of these occurrences, of the fuel line disconnecting from gas tank, on this forum. To me that is significant, and something we should check and make sure ours is fastened securely.
Does anyone have a photo of what we are looking for? Where is this fuel line?

Yeah, it is a bit concerning... unfortunately I didn't think about taking a photo, didn't realize the issue was at the tank itself until the dealership told me. I smelled a lot of gas, but just assumed I was flooding the engine and didn't think fuel was actually leaking on the road

When I talked to them about it, it sounds like a flexible hose comes directly off the tank and then connects to a hard fuel line. It's at this location the connection failed

Luckily it only took a couple days to repair - I got all those errors also

Zero issues since then....
