Thank you very much. I don’t know how my hose came out of that holding area. Appreciate the help. Thank you

Thanks to all of you. We bought a fuel line hose and fixed the problem. Drove the vehicle tonight and everything seems ok. Now the overflow tank is at L once I have driven it for while. Do either of you know how much I need to add? Half way to F or all the way to F when cold?

Not sure what year model you have....but it doesn't really matter....I assume you have your owner's manual, it's your friend for info such as this, just look in the index for "coolant level", if you don't have the owner's manual you can download it from Welcome to Toyota Owners ....just select your vehicle and then under "resources" click on the manuals link.

That all being said in my owner's manual for my 2004 V8 it says..."...when the engine is cold. the coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the "L" and the "F" lines on the reservoir.."

Just making sure I am not doing anything dangerously wrong...All stuff I usuall don't deal with me.
