    It’s here in the U.S. but you can try Blackstone Laboratories.

    Not necessarily. Shipping fuel samples is something that can be done if you do your research.

    Just a little update, i found an independent fuel testing lab, i have emailed them and they informed me the test shell did is the wrong test to see if gas was put in my diesel fuel.

    That is why they sounded worried when i said, I'm having and independent test.

    Nice. Did you get the gas company to claim fault?

    This should be moved to the Hilux forum...? OP doesn't own a 1st Gen Taco. Just saying.
    Sorry to hear that someone put Taco sauce into your truck instead of Hilux Juice.

    Also...the mere thought of this terrifies me, considering that 99.99999% of Tacomas that a gas station attendant would encounter in NJ or OR (I think those are the two states...) requires gasoline in the tank.

    It is a 2003, yup a hilux. I didn't know there was a hilux group forum. I'm here and there 6 months each. I found out a lot yes looks the same but the hilux has more parts from an sr5, I'm going to have to do some modification to get these to work.yes that is a rear rotor I'm bought front and back.

    Yeah I'd say just keep you here, :D I don't wanna have to track you down in a different section. :rofl: I like seeing it here in this forum just fine :D
    Nice to see the progress. And I'd agree, you're gonna rebuild it might as well bore it out and get bigger goodies in there. I remember now that rear disc set up. That's yet to be installed? Or the rear disc is up and running already?

    The front is like a sr5 so I'm going to have to modify the front the back should bolt on. Fingers crossed
