Keep this in mind
Got this truck in the other day...Guy mentioned his truck was skipping for a few days...I got the skip fixed and noticed it had an EVAP leak code stored with the engine skip codes and took a look under the truck

what the hell is that??
Bet it's not a Chevy!
OK, what the hell am I looking at? Is that the gas tank?
Stroker DC21 Mercury 250 XB
CHEVROLET!!!!!!!!!!
Its the gas tank...and you are correct Troy...Not a Chevy...Just another slam by me i guess
Brand name withheld to save any possible butt hurtage...but any good mechanic can tell you the brand just by looking at the top of the pump
Gas tank leak fixed with tar?
Azure AZ200 (with stuff like cupholders, bathroom and table)
Outside of being a gas tank, what are we looking at??
My 2005 F150 has what feels like a bad shudder when going from 1st to 2nd gear. It will do this for a while and finally check engine light. It feels like its in the tranny, but code says its a coil gone bad. Replace a coil and fine for a while...

Nope...when you drive around with an engine skip from lack of spark you send raw fuel into your exhaust...That gas has to burn somewhere...In this case it did in the Catalytic converter and in the muffler...Glowing red a few inches from the plastic gas tank...That thin piece of tin the factory put between them as a heat shield didnt work so well

Exhaust get a little warm from the raw gas??
Edit....you posted a reply while I was typing mine
Did it have a brush guard?
Azure AZ200 (with stuff like cupholders, bathroom and table)
And before someone gets butt hurt...this is not a slam...This was an informational post...We all have plastic gas tanks in all of our cars and trucks now...Some brands they run the exhaust really close to the tank..You start skipping..or worse yet..skipping while pulling a trailer or heavy load who knows what could happen..this tank has 3 or 4 burn holes right through it
Just say Toyota
I am impressed that you can fix that mess jerry, you must be one hell of a auto tech. I never could work on cars to damn complicated for my simple mind.

very good post. For everyone who ignores small kickups, or skips, or misses......however you spell it out. Or furthermore ignore check engine lights, this could be you. Whatever name brand you drive.
Jerry I am not crying about it, I really mean I could not fix that mess if I tried!
