Toyota Innova Gas Tank woes

[tggerhapi]

Actually the gas tank can be repaired using hot rod and lead. I have seen at the dealers service bay that they also repair gas tank via outside contractor, the contractor pulls out the defective tank and then returned after the repair. I ask the contractor and he told me he is from Paranaque and they would do a water immersion technique and hot rod with lead, "suplete" at "tingga".

Have you also replaced the "Charcoal Canister" and the "Filler Cap"? If not there is a huge possibility that your new gas tank will get warped and leak again just like what happened to me during my 1st gas tank replacement.

Try calling Gant Auto Shop (2742-D Taft Ave., Pasay, T:831-6932) for the Filler Cap. Dito rin minsan bumibili ang mga casa pag sinabi nila sa iyo na by order ang hinahanap mo, panigurado meron sa Gant at mas mura. Kahit malilit na mga plastic clips meron sila.

Kabibili ko lang ng clutch cover, disc at bearing na all Toyota Original sa Gant last Saturday at ang laki ng savings ko compared to casa price. Sa Casa by order ang clutch set at ang mahal pa.

Dito din ba sa thread yun nagpagawa ng fuel tank cage to protect the tank?

Not sure about this. But casa supervisor told me it is best to keep always at half tank level.

sir mile, can you elaborate more on half tank level. In my part I put gas once a week when my tank is at half level, atleast 1,000 per gas that will make almost at fulltank.

What the casa supervisor told me was, if you reached below half tank then that's the time to refill.

thanks a lot, mile2.

Nakakalungkot naman, I have been following all the threads kasi my family is planning to buy innova (J-variant). Pinagpipilian namin kung diesel or gas, but since me problem nga sa D4D parang gusto na namin ung gas. Pero eto na naman meron pa palang problema din. Sa family, we own only toyotas... pero parang we will consider other brands na. Tsk...kakalungkot

wow...that's kinda like telling people to climb up a broken escalator so they can reach the second floor, since they can't or won't solve the problem.
