VEHICLE SHACKS AT IDLE WHILE IN GEAR
WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH AND RAN OVER A SMALL PIECE OF SHREDDED TRACKER TRAILER TIRE, APPROXIMATELY 8-10 INCHES LONG, BY 3-6 INCHES WIDE. THE TIRE PIECE FLEW UP, IMPACTED THE FRONT FACING SECTION OF MY FUEL TANK, PUNCTURING THE TOP PART OF THE FUEL TANK. THE GASH WAS ABOUT 1 INCH, AND FUEL BEGAN TO GUSH OUT FROM THE FRONT OF THE TANK COVERING THE TOP, SIDES, AND BOTTOM OF THE TANK DUE TO THE WIND FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE FUEL LEAK WAS NOT DETECTED UNTIL I HAD DRIVEN 200 MILES MORE AND NOTICED MY FUEL ECONOMY DROPPING RAPIDLY. WHEN I STOPPED, FUEL WAS LEAKING HEAVILY ONTO THE GROUND. NOTE THIS IS A 2WD PRERUNNER DOUBLE CAB LONG BED. THE FUEL TANK HAS NO PROTECTIVE STEEL SHIELDING ON THE FRONT OF THE TANK TO PREVENT ROAD DEBRIS FROM DAMAGING THE TANK IN THE EVENT OF IMPACT. *TR
