Absolutely.

You have to experience it to know.

If the metal tank begins to corrode...fuel pump trouble...fuel filter trouble... run tank low trouble

Good call!


Correct! Metal tank forcing me to reload tank at half empty now,
after having to clean filter twice. I don't like it. Akin to always carrying an extra passenger.

GAZZUZZ:


the original Gas tank has been discontinued by manufacturer.

They now sell plastic gas tanks.

Seems like a better deal long term

I found stainless steel in 5 stores last night, very pricy.

The old gas tank is still good and can be restored. You can weld up a new one in Nigeria.

I’ll like to see you guys be more resourceful. Said with utmost respect Sir.

The calculation of life grin

U people wee not keel me cheesy

On a serious note, guys please don't believe that anyone here is paying $2K for a gas tank for a Ford truck. And those shops don't even have it in stock. If you call then they'll have you place a sizable non-refundable deposit for them to order it. After that they the manufacturer will make it in 15 minutes.

I am yet to see any accredited dealer of Cars or Mobile Phone recall anything in Nigeria.

Even Samsung during the messy Galaxy Note recall, the thing no reach Nigeria.

We kinda have a weak CPC (Consumer Protection) in Nigeria.

Toyota Nigeria (Elizade, Briscoe, Globe Motor etc) and Coscharis (Jaguar, Ford, Range Rover etc) do donate free cars to agency that are supposed to fight in justice done to consumers in Nigeria.

So once a dealer pocket agencies responsible for protecting consumer right, who go fight the battle.

A well-known accredited car dealer was said to be using a wrong engine oil grade to service new cars that are still under warranty and free service year, so if a car dealer can use a 20W-50 to do free engine oil change service for car made between 2010 - 2018 and such dealership is still in business till this moment, why do you expect such dealer to do vehicle recall.

Just passing jejely

You haven't seen anything. A friend of mine has a 2015 corolla bought brand new. After some years of servicing at a top 3 Toyota dealer in Naija was complaining bitterly to me that the car was being a bit sluggish despite the thousands he coughs out per service at the dealer. He decided to change to a Kazeem for servicing and went to ask one of his buddies at the top 3 dealership what oil to use. The guy told him to use Visco 2000 that the oil is even better than what they use at the dealership! Maybe they use amasco oil angry (no offence to amasco). I advised him to get 0W-20
Finally when he got Kazeem for servicing the Kazeem had serious doubts whether the oil filter had ever been changed shocked

That's why every car owner need to take personal responsibility for their car.

Don't trust any dealership whether accredited or not, all they are interested in is the profit. They are more interested in you buying a new car every year than maintain the old one.

I buy my car engine oil myself and the least I use is 5w-30 which is stated in the car manual.

When a car dealer cannot even use a 5W-30 to service your car which is still under warranty, do you now expect such dealership to do vehicle recall.

In Falz voice, This is Nigeria where Police Station close by 6pm due to Security reason. grin cheesy grin

You are very correct, we are not resourceful. No time to figure out what could be done. Op, bring the tank to my place, we have a good welder that uses electric welding machine. He can do all kind of weldings. For those that says there is no recall for cars already in Nigeria, that is not true. There is a recall for any car that issued it except Toyota. A range Rover 2013 that was imported from the US in 2014 had bushing and balloon issue that same year. It was later taken to Coscharis to fix under warranty even though it was not bought from Coscharis. What models of Toyota does Elizade sells? Without venza, avalon, highlander, 4runner, v6 camry, are the other models toyota?
