THE FUEL TANK IS LETTING WATER IN AND I HAVE RUST IN MY FUEL LINE.

ON A FEW OCCASIONS (4-8 TIMES), THE GAS PEDAL HAS GOTTEN STUCK, IN SUCH A WAY, THAT THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY ACCELERATED. IT HAS HAPPENED FROM A COMPLETE STOP GOING UP TO 20-25 MPH, AND WHILE ON THE FWY, DRIVING APPROX. 65 MPH. THE FIRST TIME, WHILE DRIVING FROM COMPLETE STOP TO ABOUT 20-25 MPH, MY WIFE NOTICED THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING, SHE TURNED INTO A SMALLER STREET, THEN FORCED THE SHIFTER INTO PARK, AND PULLED UP THE E-BRAKE. ALL OTHER TIMES, WE SIMPLY TAP, OR PUMP, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FOR IT TO GET 'UNSTUCK'. *TR

I HAVE A 1988 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER. THERE IS A SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN (M01) NHTSA CAMPAIGN #91V110000 THAT DIRECTS THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL GAS TANK WITH ONE WITH A NEW AND IMPROVED DESIGN. I SPOKE TO MY DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THEY REFFERED ME TO SERVCO PACIFIC WHICH IS THE TOYOTA DISTRIBUTOR FOR MY AREA. I SPOKE WITH A MAN NAMED FRED KITAJIMA WHOM IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER FOR SERVCO. HE TOLD ME THAT A CHECK OF MY VIN NUMBER [XXX] SHOWED THAT THE REPLACEMENT HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE ON 05/29/1992, AND THAT I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY FURTHER SERVICE. HE WENT ON TO SAY THAT SERVCO PUTS A TEN - YEAR CAP ON SSCS, SO EVEN IF THE FUEL TANK HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED, THEY WOULD NOT DO IT ANYWAY. MY VEHICLE HAS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IN THE CAB, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO TRACK DOWN THE SOURCE OF THE SMELL. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT I HAVE A FAULTY "VAPOR CONTROL VALVE" WHICH THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE. I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN WHAT THE PART NUMBER WAS ON THE FUEL TANK THAT IS NOW ON MY VEHICLE AND HE GAVE ME THE FOLLOWING #: [XXX]. I CHECKED SSC M01 AND IT READS THAT THE FUEL TANK IS SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED WITH PART #: [XXX]. I FEEL THAT MY FUEL TANK HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED AS STATED BY SERVCO PACIFIC AND THAT THEY, SERVCO PACIFIC, IS EITHER NEGLIGENT OR MISTAKEN. *AK *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
