Innova Gas tank Leak

**1997** · December 10th, 2008 03:17 PM

Need your opinion po sa Innova namin... Twice na po kami nag palit ng Gas tank sa loob lang ng 2 years... Lagi po nag kaka leak... Resently lang po nag palit ulet kami ng Gas tank then after a week may dent na ulet yung gas tank... 100% sure po ako na hindi po siya na lubak or gumas gas sa Humps... ano kaya problem nun...

BTW sabi ng toyota hindi daw cover ng Waranty since may Dent daw...

Any Idea kung bket kaya ganun?

Hindi naman po nasasabutahe yung Innova kasi private parking po yung dun sa Brother ko... Sa bandang gitna eh... in between yung 2 brace na nag hohold sa tank...

hmm.. first time ko naka encounter ng tank leak sa innova, usually altis at camry may ganitong problem, pag nagfull tank ka nag leak na siya. maybe sa casa hindi pinalitan yung tank mo nung nagpa service ka. did you visually check the tank each time after they replaced it ?

Could have been a debris from the highway causing this. Try to weld a sheet metal between the 2 bracket as a shield. Probably Toyota put the gas tank in the spot.

100% sure po ako na pinalitan coz nakita ko po yung lumang tank... and binalik ko din po kasi yung Innova kasi po hindi gumagana yung Guage so binaba ulet yung tank then nakita ko po yung Toyota Sticker sa Ibabaw ng Tank... So ok naman po bnew naman po yung tank...

I doubt po kung debris po yun kasi po horizontal yung dent parang isang line...

1st time nagka leak yung innova I notice na walang rubber yung strap niya(where the leak is) nung pinalitan nilagyan ng Toyota ng Rubber strap pero dun pa rin yung leak... Yung Dent po na Horizontal ngayon nasa gitna ng dalawang strap malayo po dun sa leak..

Bring it back to Toyota. Dont ever drive that vehicle w/ your family, you're a walking time bomb.

Hmmm...unusual nga yan. Mine is already past 3 years na pero stiill free of any dents of sorts (madumi nga lang ung ilalim, he he he). Pinalitan lang ng casa noon yung tank straps as part of their recall kasi yung initial stock straps didn't pass through standards. As one poster said baka nga sinasabotahe yung ride mo. Try to investigate further. Meantime, it is safe not to use it until the casa had completely changed it. Good luck.
