Hi All.
i am a new Prado owner 2 weeks and on first diesel fill up of my 2009 Diesel 120 had fuel leaking out from the tank area under the car as i filling up.
the car was just under one quarter tank with the 90 litre light on. Put about 65 litres in before i saw the fuel leaking out. Fuel gauge then read half tank and no 90 light which seemed high . Fuel stopped leaking out when i stopped putting fuel in and i have not seen any fuel leaking out since. Drove 110km and fuel guage was showing a bit under half. Next time in car guage has gone to 90litre light on and full which sounds about right given fuel in and km travelled.
is this a false sensor and shutting off fuell intake and sending fuel to overflow or any idea on what is going on before i climb under and pull the bash plate off to check for damage.
thanks and look forward to learning from others.
