Description of the problem	Bought truck new in 2003 original owner. At 36433 miles check engine light came on was told fuel tank was rusted out needed new tank which was replaced under extended warranty. At 91989 miles check engine light again comes on. Was told fuel tank/evap canister valve/evap control system needed replaced again. Again done under extended warranty. At 120,608 miles (28589 miles later) check engine came on again. Took to nissan dealer again for diagnostic check and am told that there is corrosion again on the fuel tank around sending unit. May need another fuel tank, but need to drop tank and see how bad it is. Extended warranty is expired at this point and the charge would be up to me. I was trying to work with nissan to replace this tank if need be. I understand that it is an older truck, but it is garage kept and never off road in excellent shape. They want me to take it and have the tank dropped at my expense. If it turns out to be the tank they will then decide what they might pay if any. They are calling it a good will decision. I need a definite answer from them on how much they will pay before i do this and they won't do that. My theory is that if this turns out to be yet another rusted fuel tank which will make the fourth one they should have a recall on these. I have two other friends with nissan frontiers 2002, and 2003 with the same problem. I believe that this is not an isolated problem for i have googled this and found thousands of complaints about rusted fuel tanks on these years and make of nissan. I am a 66 year old man, and have never in all my years of owning an automobile ever had to replace a fuel tank because it was rusted out, let alone 4 of them. Something needs to be done, and nissan needs to step up and address this problem once and for all.
