Toyota Innova Gas Tank woes

[annika]

thank you for the quick respond sir miles. I usually fill my tank weekly or if the gauge is within the half of fuel indicator. I never had it below half. mostly it cost me 1,000 per filling.

Same problem here. Mine was replaced recently. Do you know where we can sell this defective fuel tank?

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.

[Capsaul]

will you agree to "repair" the problematic gas tank? lalo na if under warranty pa? di ba dapat replacement at hindi repair lang...

i wonder if vacuum ang problem ... sa tingin ko kasi baka manipis yung material ng gas tank... dapat makapal na sheet schedule ng lata....


in the long run yung repaired gas tank sa ibang part naman mag warp yun... masisira din...

di kaya mine menos tayo ng TMC?

di pwede pukpok

Yup the "Charcoal Canister" was replaced and but still waiting for a new stock of "Filler Cap". Sad to say we have the same case, on my 1st fuel tank replacement, they didnt replace the charcoal canister and filler cap.
I'm looking for a buyer of these fuel tank. i have 2 pcs

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.

Mile2, how much ang total cost ng clutch cover, disc at bearing for the innova? Had my transmission pulled down by casa ( warranty claim ) last month to fix a squeaking sound whenever I depress the clutch. pero sabi ng warranty section wala dawpinalitan na parts. although nawala naman yung sound, I'm not sure kung kelan ito babalik.

[Mile2]

P7K flat sa Gant. (cover, disc, bearing), sa casa almost P10K at by order pa, mukhang bibili pa sa Gant .

Contributing factor din ba kapag laging full tank?

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

[annika]

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.

[annika]

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

[tggerhapi]

*onguy14344

Atleast, you know what to expect, and inspect when you buy innova. but honestly I'm satisfied with the perfomance of this car, 5 yrs na etong sa akin pero ganda pa rin ng hatak ng makina. Sana nga lang magawan ng permanent solution yun problem sa fuel tank.

*tggerhapi, sir nagpalit na kayo ng Gas Tank, Charcoal Canister at Filler Cap? Di ba nasolusyunan ung problema?

[onguy14344]

Mga sir,

Magkano po kaya ang aabutin sa repair ng Gas Tank at change ng charcoal canister at Filler cap if ever ako po ang gagastos? San po kaya pwede pagawa if not in casa. Pasensya na po pero naghahanap lang po ako ng mga factors para Toyota innova pa rin po ang kunin ko... gusto ko talaga innova lalo na sa interior nya. pakidelete na lang po kung OT.
