sir mile2,are the older model and the 2010 model have the same filler cap and charcoal canister?

The 2009-2010 models have the new design filler cap with larger breather holes. I'm not sure about the charcoal canister if they have new design.

hmmmm, i am planning to get the Innova G 2.0 Gas AT instead of Mitsubishi Fuzion GLS Sport, but it looks like i have to think again. Maybe look for other brands?

I want Toyota above other car manufacturers, but thanks to this forum, i got enlightened before parting away with my hard-earned money.

'still needs to weigh the pros and cons of the Innova though...

madalang nagagamit ang innova namin. one day nagtaka na lang ako ng mag amoy gas yung parking namin at yun, may leak na pala ang gas tank. So mga masters, ano po ang da best na maipapayo nyo since na pede ulit ma warp ang tank pag pinapaltan. di bumababa sa half ang fuel nya kaya nagtaka na lang kami bat nagkaganun? napansin ko na kupi ang tank pero ala naman tama kaya imposible na may hard object na nag cause dun....

So ano po ba ang dapat na gawin? papalitan ang tank, canister & filler cap or iparepair na lang ang tank at magpalit ng charcoal canister at filler cap?

ano kaya ang masasabi ng toyota rito? aantayin kaya nila na magcause ng maraming aksidente ito bago nila gawan ng action?

fuel tank is located underneath the driver side? that's scary if it has a leak and traveling in a hot humid day, spark na lang kelangan

If warranty pa unit mo, claim it underwarrty para walang cost. Pag na deny ng SA, punta ka sa CRO (Customer Relation Officer) doon mo habulin. Ako hinabol hanggang makarating ako sa Dealer's president pero inabot ako ng almost 2 months. Pag warranty 3 parts dapat ang papalitan (Gas Tank, Charcoal Canister at Filler Cap).

If out of warranty, have the tank repaired sa mga gumagawa ng radiator. Tingga at suplete ang gagamitin nila panghinang, mas maganda kung lalagyan nila ng reinforce sheet sa corner bend para siguradong walang leak. Yung big dent can be pushed back by taking out the Floater Assembly, then from that hole the dent can be pushed back. Then bili ka na lang ng Charcoal Canister at Filler Cap.
