Toyota Innova Gas Tank woes

[kristine123]

Read back ka mam hehe. Yup nagkaproblem din ako around april this year.
Mine is 2006 G A/T model.
I believe wala siya sa mileage? kasi yun sa tita ko almost the same time namin na encounter yun leaking gas tank.
Her ride is 2005 model, nasa 50k km pa lang ang tinakbo nun. yung sakin nasa 110k km na ang tinakbo.
and if you read back, meron ako nabasa dito sa thread wala pang 1 year nagka leak na din BRAND NEW HA!.
It all depends sa charcoal canister, the worst part walang makakaalam kung kailan siya masisira.
Observe observe observe na lang, check your gas tank for dents.

check ko na lang sir from time to time gas tank ko...

Here are the pictures of the crazy canister..another question.. should our check engine light come up because of this canister issue and alert us the problem?!

thanks for sharing the pics sir nic...

Sir di ko makita yung big dent, inunat ba nila yung floor? Yung 2 warped tank ko kasi ang laki ng dent parang sinuntok sa laki ng dent.

Toyota Engineers and marketing people look at the picture. This is the common leak spot! I have experienced two warped tank and leak at the same spot.

Sir mile, malaki din yung dent nya..d lng halata sa picture..if you would notice the gasoline dark marks are circulating the dent which is sucked inwards..
Hindi sya lumubo eh..but deflated if the term is correct..

Yes correct, palubog nga ang dent. Yung crack sa corner ng bends ay metal fatigue due to expansion and inward pressure sa tank floor, imagine mo yung lata na i-tupi mo palabas at paloob ng maraming beses ang resulta napupunit yung lata.

TOYORAMA P7,700 CHARCOAL CANISTER : (77704 -0K010)
TOYORAMA P1,380.00 FUEL CAP : (77300 - 28010)

di po ba pwede fuel caps lang ang papalitan or charcoal canister lang? dabat both?

meaning sir after long driving pwede silipin sa baba kung nag dedent? or i open fuel cap kung may air papasok?

Sir mile is it normal may fast tiktik sound sa charcoal canister after long drive?

Sorry po Sir Cast di ko napansin ikaw pala nag post last time (gas tank problem).

What do you mean 1 year pa lang Innova nag leak na agad gas tank? 1st gen innova or the second gen?

ako weekly ko lang naman sinisilip yung gas tank kung may sign na ng dent.

normal lang yung fast titik sound sa vicinity ng charcoal canister, ibig lang sabihin nyan ay gumagana yung relief valve, releasing the pressure sa fuel injection system.
