If it absorbs paps and was blocked, ibig sabihin di dapat mag negative pressure.

Not really... All it takes is alternating positive pressure and not-so-positive pressure inside the tank, courtesy of a blocked breather..
All one has to do is prevent inner tank and outer atmosphere pressures from equalizing.. Do it often enough and that tank will deform or spring a leak.
Consider... Car parked under baking noonday sun.. Tank is heated by sun above and by asphalt below.. Tank vapor pressure goes up.. Some vapor escapes thru semi-blocked breather.. Then driver drives home and parks in cool basement. Tank temp goes down and vapor pressure lowers. Some air manages to go in, but not enough and not fast enough.. Cycle this often enough and one morning, driver finds his tank leaking or distorted..

Anybody experienced fuel tank problems on their Innova D4Ds? Last Sunday I heard a loud sound emanating from the bottom of my Innova. I looked and found nothing. Now my fuel gauge showed I used 1/8 of my fuel tank just for 40 kms of travel and I saw some splashed fuel underneath my ride on my left rear tire side after I got home. Anyone can help me where to have it repaired outside of the case? My warranty expired just last May 26. I live in Muntinlupa.

Thanks

Hi folks,

I know almost a year na last post for this issue. Just got a late 09 J gas Innova, got it 2nd hand. What year models are affected? What symptoms to watch out? Thanks

Funny thing, hindi ipoint out ng SA sa owner ano ang culprit netong gas tank warping.

Yes casa don't do repairs pero naman sana ipaliwanag niyo bakit nangyayari and prevent it lalo na ito 3rd occurrence na.

Yung tita and tito ko mas tiwala sa casa, kahit na pinaliwanag ko na samen once lang ito nangyari and kung ano ginawa ko nung nangyari.
