Toyota Innova Gas Tank woes

[Mile2]

This is just to give you some idea on how to deal with the gas tank problem.

My first warped gas tank was replaced using insurance claim, just did an affidavit of Own Damage and quotation fom casa. My insurance just issued an LOA to casa and it was fixed. Problem was casa and insurance did not replace the charcoal cannister that led to reoccurance of warping gas tank.

My second warped gas tank was replaced by Toyota, I wrote a letter demanding that my gas tank should be replaced citing this is now due to factory defect and it happened twice within the warranty period. Toyota did replaced 3 items, gas tank assembly, charcoal cannister and filler cap. Gas tank warping problem gone since 2008.

Some owner here, opt to have their gas tank leak repaired outside, spot welding plates on top of the affected area and just bought Charcoal cannister from Banawe. This would cost around P10K only compare to casa repair cost of around P30K++

Please back read the whole thread so you can be guided on how to deal with the problem. Good luck.
