I filled the gas tank all the way about 2 weeks ago and then went shopping, When I came out of the supermarket there was gasoline , close to my left rear tire on the parking lot. When my tank was 3/4rs full, no more leakage. What could it be?

You could possibly have a hole in your gas tank or the seal from the fuel pump could be leaking.....info I got from the old man....I don't know anything about it myself but did ask him...hope this helps....good luck......probably would not hurt to get another opinion though...take care Ann...good to "see" you also....(:

That really seems high to me. I suppose they have to remove the gas tank, but still......Do you live in an area where winter roads require a lot of salt (causing corrosion)?? I think I'd get another estimate. 

Not for a Toyota.   Toyota dealers are famous for overcharging their customers, for the cars, parts and repairs

I have never heard of fuel lines needing replacemant. Why do they need to be replaced?

Unless what Flip said....corrosion.But if that was the case the rest of the car would be a rust bucket too.

Get another quote Ann.Sounds fishy to me.

Never had a problem, except brake and tires. It runs great. I would appreciate someones input. Thanks.

If the gasoline stopped leaking when it got down to 3/4 full, it sounds like it is your gas tank that is most likely leaking. A leak in the fuel line would most likely leak at any level,  You should perhaps ask around and see if there is a good garage around that would take a look at it. You should be able to get a gas tank for $200-$300, although Toyota might be a little more expensive if it has to come through them. That estimate sounded extremely high to me.

I tend to believe some garages take advantage of women, as many women are not that familiar with the workings of an automobile.

500+ ok

far to much
