Your gas tank developed corrosion and rust, with holes forming in the filler pipe where you add fuel. This was discovered during a repair visit and fixed by the auto shop, but Toyota offered no assistance since your vehicle was out of warranty. The repair likely involved replacing the corroded filler pipe and possibly treating or replacing sections of the gas tank.
