| Description of the problem | Several months ago the check engine light in my 2003 nissan frontier xe came on. I took the vehicle to a local repair shop and was informed that the fuel tank was rusting at the top. This caused air to enter the system making the check engine light go on. I had to have the tank replaced to pass state inspection. |
