so far so good naman. no more warping.

dapat gawan mo ng paraan bago lalaki ang gastos mo sa gastank pag mag leak yan....

I have observed that the dent stays as is, it doesnt get "inflated or deflated". Although baka replace ko na rin ang filler cap and maybe the charcoal cannister pag may budget na ka atf/oil change ko lang kasi

tanong ko lang sir kung ano po ang fuel consumption ng Innova natin? nabasa ko na once mapapalitan ng charcoal canister ay mag improved ang FC?

Guys,
Does the current/latest innova still have this problem? I was pretty much ready to buy but after finding this thread I'm having second thoughts.

if the gas filler cap is the problem, i suggest getting a cheap, replacement cap and drill a very small hole thru it. position the hole so that water does not easily get into it..
i did it once in my older vehicle, and it worked.
and if you change your mind, you can easily use your old, non-adulterated cap again..

same here it may be the breather.... yung ride ko may filter sa breather... and it was covered with dirt...it is positioned near the rear tires kaya nadudumihan...

baka po nagbabara na yung breather bec. of dirt coming from the tires... maybe we can positioned the breather hose away from the rear tires...

i was wondering about that.. older cars always had a breather tube on their gas tanks, to prevent drastic differences in pressure that can distort the gas tanks, and/or wreak havoc to their carburetors or fuel injection systems... i wasn't sure newer cars still had them... and i'm too old to crawl under cars now to see if there are breather tubes still...
so... porke hindi ko ma-check yung breather tubes, i took the easy way.. drilled a hole thru the cap cover..

You can actually removed the plastic mesh filter on the filler cap. This is what exactly TMBC did to my filler cap as a remedial solution while waiting for replacement parts.
