I couldn't find any obvious damage after looking at the hoses going to the charcoal canister, but the gas tank did have a pretty large dent in it. There was no obvious leak coming from the tank, but one of the components could have been ****ed at the top. Since it is difficult to diagnose those parts without removing the tank, I decided to just replace them all. Most of the parts I got from Camelback Toyota, but I was able to get a used tank from a local wrecker for relatively cheap. For the fuel pump, I got the original Denso part off of Amazon since Toyota wanted an arm and a leg for it.

Removing the gas tank was relatively easy, with just 2 bolts holding it in place. The hardest part was getting enough clearance to remove the wire harness and hoses from the top of the tank. Removing the drive shaft would have made the job easier, but I was still able to work around it well enough. From start to finish, the entire job took around 5 hours, not including painting the new skid. The skid plate itself is extremely impressive, and it has plenty of driveshaft clearance. I will definitely not need to worry about damaging the tank again!

I didn't see anything obvious on the parts I took off the tank, but I'm hoping this will resolve the issue. If not, I will have to start putting my focus on the charcoal canister.

I like how you find solutions to problems. I would probably be too lazy to collect parts from different places. Although I understand that it will most likely be cheaper, and it is unlikely that much more time will be spent. But I just didn't have the imagination. I buy everything in sets. It's always one store to buy toggle clamps, one store to buy parts. Parts I would rather buy in the official store, but thanks to your example, I will reconsider my habits. It's time to start taking care of finances.
