Description of the problem	I have a 2002 toyota tundra that is leaking gas. Initially i noticed a fuel smell when i walked by the truck which progressed to seeing fuel on the ground. If i put too much gas in the truck, over 1/2 tank, you can see the fuel leaking through the 4x4 fuel tank protective cover. I had the truck put on a lift and was told that fuel was leaking from the seam of the tank. I recently took my truck to toyota in response to the recall re:excessive frame rust and my truck passed that inspection. I have less than 51,000 miles on this truck and i am afraid to drive it on the highway. I have lived in ma for 22 years and have never had a fuel tank problem. On 04/06/10 i took my truck to a required yearly inspection. My check engine light was on and the garage told me that my vehicle had failed the emissions test. I have been following other owners reports online and have noticed that more people are reporting leaking fuel tanks. Extensive research indicates that aftermarket gas tanks are not available for this model/year so i must have toyota either do the work, or minimally, get the part from them. Based on their recent reputation, i am not thrilled about taking my truck back to them. I have 60 days from the failure date to get it repaired and reinspected to avoid losing my registration! I need this truck to be safe for me and all the other drivers that i encounter. Can you please look into this safety concern?

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
