| General comments: | I know that it will not happen if not with the stone I pass by BUT what I am disappointed when I inspected it is looks like that the metal is not so thick that any low-medium hit can cause the metal to rip apart (dent will be acceptable) Also further inspection on the tank shows that the gas tank design area occupies a larger area that is exposed in the underchassis. It would have been much better if its design has a limited area that are exposed under (e.g. like a tall rectangular boxe than a large rectangular tray). Considering the Phil road conditions, Gas Tank must be robust and thickly made to minimize this risk.. |
| What things have gone wrong with the car: | I am quite disappointed to discover that my gas tank was leaking after I discover gas leak in my garage. I recalled that I happen to pass by a not so big stone on my way back to Manila from Bicol somewhere in Lucena 5 days ago. |
