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?

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.

Yes sir, nakapagpapalit na ako twice na . yun first, pina remedyohan ko muna sa talyer, kaso ndi rin nagtagal nag leak ulit. then dinala ko na sa casa, pero hindi pinalitan yun Charcoal Canister & Filler Cap, kaya cguro bumalik yun problema after 8 months. And i happen to read this thread having similar problem. This time nun pinalitan yun Gas tank, pinalitan na din yun charcoal canister & filler cap. And now i have 2 defective gas tank at home. Since wala pang binigay na permanent solution, i always check the fuel tank for any signs of deformation.

OMG! I hope this problem gets resolved soon. Maybe they should design a new tank with additional support so the metal panels will not bend. My dad is planning to get the Innova E gas variant... Maybe he should think twice...

Thank you for this thread. Am hoping, that with the ties the moderators have with TMP officials, a recall can be achieved.

I own a 2nd hand '07 Innova V (gas) and experienced this gas leak problem earlier this year. As the cost of a new gas tank and the warranty expired, I opted to have it repaired outside by welding.

Without replacing the charcoal canister and filler cap, the problem recurred three times now. I notice this happens when I go on long trips and have to fill the tank and on instances when I go through steep inclines like basements and parking buildings.

How I wish I could bring it to Toyota and have it repaired without cost to me. Meanwhile, will try to replace the charcoal canister and filler cap as I have it welded.

*Dudoy,

Replace the filler cap and charcoal canister so as not to have a repeat warped gas tank floor. They cost cheaper than having a gas tank repair every time.

My gas tank don't experience anymore the mysterious warping of the gas tank floor ever since the Charcoal canister at the engine bay and filler cap were replaced.

sir mile 2, ask lang po, are the new model innova gas 2010 have the same filler cap and canister? or iba na ang sa 2010 model? thanks

[annika]

sir mile2,are the older model and the 2010 model have the same filler cap and charcoal canister?

[Mile2]

The 2009-2010 models have the new design filler cap with larger breather holes. I'm not sure about the charcoal canister if they have new design.
