Toyota Innova Gas Tank woes

[markduguran]

Another option is to make a legal action on this issue. Any kind lawyer here that would help in the papers will be a blessing..and all innova vvti owners old or new or potential buyers will benefit on this..as i have read there was no change in the part numbers for the newer models so it is not been resolved...all affected units should gather and sign the paper and ask for damages even..

I'm An owner of a 2012 J Vvti. IMHO in order to have a recall, a certain number of cases much be reached in order to consider one. else..its just an isolated case....or TMP is just keeping their ears closed.

I agree to the suggestion of nicnoc, still recall and what? replace the old parts with new ones?
replacing it will not solve the problem parang band aid solution lang yun. still the problem will recurr.

Ang dapat baguhin is design ng charcoal canister which i doubt if toyota will design a new one.
Kung gagawin nila yun, noon pa lang nagawa na nila at nakapag recall na sila since innova's are out 2005 pa.

Yes they are, patay malisya lang yan mga yan. 2 years ago my friend who sells toyota genuine parts kinukumusta yun gas tank ko, i asked why yun nga andaming order sa kanya ng gas tank assembly. Ako naman hindi ko pinansin, sakit pala talaga ng innova yun. Ang akala niya naman dahil sa material ng gas tank kaya nabubutas agad, wala siya idea na ang salarin is the charcoal canister.

sa ibang bansa ba na may innova(indonesia, thailand,vietnam...etc etc) ganito rin ang experience nila?

No idea paps.

No idea paps.

Mukang Hindi ganun karami at ka ingay ang problem with Vvti variants kaya hindi ginagawan ng long term solution ng TMP. unlike with the D4D variants witch I beleive sobrang dami na kaya ginawan nila ng paraan (longer solenoid on the fuel pump?) para sa hard starting,choking and stalling problem.

*kristine 2005 model sayo? kumusta naman? wala pa naman leak or dent sa gas tank? yung sa tita ko 05 model din sabay kami nagkaron ng leak, funny thing dinala niya sa casa innova niya, wala talaga ata idea ang toyota sa defect or talagang denial lang sila. They only changed the gas tank, charcoal canister hindi na inadvise palitan, ayaw naman makinig sakin ng tita ko mas tiwala siya sa sinasabi ng casa. Inaantay ko na lang mag leak ulit gas tank niya.

As of now wala namang dent or deformed nakikita ko sa Gas tank.

As usual average 20 liters (1,000 pesos) ang pag pa gas ko then below 1 bar pa gas na naman ulit 1000 pesos.

Once lang po ako naka pag 2500 pesos. (last 2 weeks lang.)

tanong ko lang how many kilometers (average) ang takbo ng innova na nag kakaroon ng problem sa gas tank? at how many days lang ang 20 liters? baka po di pwede sa very long drive innova natin? baka nag wawarp ang tank pag marami ng nakaing gasolina.

may problema din ba ang bagong innova vvti hanggang ngayon sa (Gas tank) charcoal at filler?

It would only take 4-6 months for the first small dent to appear beneath the front strap support, then the dent would grew big in a matter of week and would leak after a month. This is from my experience on the 2nd warped gas tank. (same scenario, only the gas gas tank was replaced on my 1st warped gas tank problem).

We'll never know hanggang hindi natin na eexperience. matagal bago lumabas ung problem sa mga naka experience. usually 4 years and up kung hindi ako nagkakamali. WALA din naman tayong aasahan sa TMP kasi kahit sila hindi DAW nila alam na me ganong problema sa Vvti innova.

Inoobserbahan ko ung samin. after gamitin (usually 50km drive / 2hours running) nicheck ko ung negative pressure kung malakas by opening the filler cap. inconsistent cy nitong mga huling check ko. minsan halos wala...minsan malakas as in maririnig mo talagang humihigop cy ng hangin after opening.

[nicnoc]

Good evening po..may isa pa pala nasabi yung sa kanina..we should use low octane gasoline 93 unleaded kasi daw mas malakas ang pressure pag high octane fuel ginamit natin..could someone confirm this?

Ma'am kristine the issue existed on my innova at around 65k km mileage. I think we should start making noise now kasi d biro eto..mahal na ng gas ngayun tapos nag leak pa at pede pa masunod yung innova wag namn sana while u r driving..kakatakot..
