Daihatsu manufacturer position
Daihatsu is a Toyota Group brand for compact and kei vehicles. Daihatsu passenger models are not sold new in New Zealand today, but Terios and other used imports remain common. NZIFDA applies Toyota Group fuel access and anti-siphon rules.
Fuel system notes
- Most Daihatsu petrol models use in-tank electric pumps with anti-siphon filler neck designs.
- Kei-class tanks are small (often under 10 L); contamination affects running quality quickly if the engine is started.
- For imports, confirm market fuel type (petrol on NZ and JDM imports) before drain procedures.
