I cannot make noise of the problem kasi every time pumupunta ako sa CASA wala akong naririnig complaint about the Gas tank. I'm in the province kasi. Balitaan mo na lang kami sir about solving the problem...

Ma'am sure thing..i am going fix the gas tank..and the canister muna..and hopefully they would hear us..

In our manual,- nasa maintenance schedule ba na i-check ang canister every 40KKm?...

Bro.,- is the 'dent' directly underneath the front strap? How would you recognize it then? ...

Or, is it in the gas tank overhang? Or, the other side of the strap?

TIA.

Yes it a huge dent just beneath the vicinity of front strap. if anyone has this problem, it is truly visible.

Normally flat yung ilalim ng gas tank natin at mayroong lang mababaw na kanal para sa gas tank strap na may rubber insulator. Yung dent madalas makikita malapit sa kanto ng kanal para sa front gas tank strap.

toyota pasig is a different company from toyota cubao. what's under the same management as toyota cubao is manila bay, dasmarinas and marikina

Sorry about the mixed up. It should be Toyota Marikina and Toyota Cubao tandem.

Wala sa Owner's manual at wala din sa mga recommended maintenance during my previous PMS with casa. I have stressed this point on my gas tank warranty claim letter.

Unserviceable kasi yun lintek na charcoal canister na yun. in short DISPOSABLE!
