Two copper washers were included in your filter kit but you never mentioned their application , I need to change my filter and these two smaller copper crush washers plus two large copper washers are included but I have found zero source as to their installation along with numerous complaints about leakage even after several attempts on off . Somebody somewhere must know what the washers are for .

2008 Tacoma fuel filter is not under the drivers seat. 😕 I'll keep looking elsewhere after daylight!! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@epsteined3899]

Just did this. Did the valve cover gasket a week ago through your video also. Great guides man, the camera angles you are able get really make it alot easier to work.

[@EngineeredMojo]

Awesome, thank you! I try hard to get camera angles helpful for myself, glad to be of service

[@douglasedwards8029]

Thanks for the very clear instructions. I tried to replace fuel filter already, but was afraid of breaking my fuel lines because the bolts wouldn't turn. So now I'll try the product you suggested. By the way, the fuel filter is located on the passenger side of the 1993 Toyota T100.

[@EngineeredMojo]

Hopefully that product eases the removal of the nuts, it typically works great in those applications. Also thanks for adding the tip of the location for the T100!

[@thegolfdude]

This is for the 5vz which your '93 doesn't have

[@GadgetReviewVideos]

Great video, well detailed. Only thing I would add is kill the fuel pump and crank the engine to release pressure in the line. I do this by removing the EFI fuse under the hood or removing the ignition ING fuse in the cab also works. Also removing the gas cap to prevent any pressure in the tank from pushing out more fuel. I have done this twice, and the time I did not disable the fuel pump and crank it the fuel sprayed out a couple feet when removing the first side.

[@EngineeredMojo]

Good tips on relieving fuel pressure, thanks!

[@ramblerclassicman221]

Great video! I enjoyed this, as it was fairly thorough. I have heard that using a rag tied around your wrists can stem the flow of fuel if you happen to spill any down your arm. Also, I think next time I do this on my T100 on any car with an in-line filter below the gas tank, I will wait until the tank is almost empty, and also clamp off the soft line running from the tank to the hardline to keep fuel from spilling out.

[@EngineeredMojo]

Ahh the wrapped rag is a great tip, makes sense. Plan to use that as well as clamping soft line next go around. Thanks!

[@johnmason528]

nice clear video thanks. just about to do the fuel filter on my '93 T100. Good tip about the flared 14mm wrench. i just changed out the fuel tank because it was rust through and leaking and when i un-did the fuel line which has the short flexible section, which has a 17 and 14mm junction at each end of the flexible section, i did exactly what you warned about with the fuel filter job ( ie i striped the nut as it is a soft bronze coloured metal. they were rusted solid so not sure if flare wrench would have worked but certainly seems like it would be a better tool than the open wrench i used. Solved the problem in the end by cutting the fuel lines and replacing with high pressure rubber lines, clamped to the old fuel lines. So im going to buy a flared wrench before i try to undo the fuel filter which also looks rusted solid.

[@EngineeredMojo]

Those fuel line nuts can be a bear to remove and like you said half the time the nut is rusted from exposure to the elements. You came up with a good fix though, I plan to add the rubber high pressure line fix to my bag of tricks. Appreciate you taking the time to comment and sharing your experiences

Those are washers that go in the exact same spot where the originals are located; inside the screw hole fittings on each end

Just tried to do my 93 T100 and the flare nuts came loose but then got tight again more so than they were at the beginning... The nut began to round over and I gave up and tightened it back down... I swear every auto repair I try always ruins my day. 😢

[@EngineeredMojo]

Tough break!! Yes the flare nuts can be annoying to remove for sure. You could always retap your line with a new nut, but that's a whole other process, not hard though

[@Redact63Lluks]

@@EngineeredMojo yeah I don't mind working on the water system but when it comes to gas lines I think I'll take her into the experts. Have yourself a good one

[@Dr.Fares.A]

What the different between original parts and aftermarket parts ?!

In theory there should be very little difference, however, original manufacturer equipment typical has reputation for better quality control of parts at least for Toyota part manufacturers

[@Casry12345]

Is there any sort of bleeding required afterwards? Does the air just escape on its own as it gets sucked through to the engine?

[@EngineeredMojo]

No bleeding required, remember air is a necessary component of combustion anyways so it all gets sorted out through normal fuel flow

@@EngineeredMojo where did you get the copper washers? My filter didn't come with any

[@EngineeredMojo]

@04tacomaguy1 local autoparts store like advance auto or autozone will have some generic copper washers, but you will typically have to buy a whole pack of assorted washers of different material. I have better luck buying online from Amazon 25 or 50 pack of size washer I need exactly.

@@EngineeredMojo any idea what size it was? I might just buy an assortment pack of them

[@goodtalker]

I have a 2019 Tacoma 4x4. Does it also have an inline filter? I always changed the inline filter on my Silverados and F-150 trucks, usually, once per year. Never had a problem. I thought for sure that on the Tacoma the fuel filter was in the tank. Thanks .

[@EngineeredMojo]

I believe for a 2019 it's integrated into the fuel pump inside the fuel tank. Hope that helps!

Hi I got a 2001 4 runner when I start it up sometimes it crank right up. But sometimes I crank it up it cut right back off and the ln I start it again and it takes a long time to crank up at the end it cranks up sluggish after holding key in ignition for a long time waiting until it starts I have a video of the long crank hard starting that it’s giving me

[@EngineeredMojo]

I'd go through the basics and check fuel, spark, compression in that order given complexity. Check fuel pressure and using an inline spark tester on the plugs is fairly simple. If those check out move to compression test to see if that is given you your starting issues

Where is the fuel filter on a 2016 Toyota Tacoma, I’m thinking it’s inside the gas tank after checking under the driver side and inside th engine area and can’t seem to locate it

[@EngineeredMojo]

I had asked a tech about this awhile back. Apparently, it's in the gas tank mounted near the fuel pump similar to the previous 2nd gen Tacoma

[@EngineeredMojo]

My truck is 2003 and correct the 2nd generation Tacoma's have the fuel filter in the gas tank. For 2nd gen's it is not a regular scheduled maintenance item so they rarely need to be changed. Hope this info helps!

[@RaspyStarks]

My 4 runner cranks but no start. It’s been about 2 weeks now. Could it be fuel filter or fuel pump? ... 2002 4runner w/ 300xxx miles

[@EngineeredMojo]

Could be, I doubt it's the fuel filter but it's a cheap replacement if it has never been changed before. Could be the fuel pump. Personally, I'd confirm I had spark then move to confirming fuel pressure given it's a bit tougher to confirm pressure on 3.4L engine variety given it's hard to place a fuel preasure gauge inline of the fuel line. If you confirm fuel and spark (spark tester loaner tool makes that easy) then last I would check compression (free loaner tool as well, pretty simple process)

[@EngineeredMojo]

I doubt the fuel filter, but possibly the fuel pump. I'd test what fuel preasure

[@RaspyStarks]

@@EngineeredMojo I’ll check it tomorrow after work!

@@bardinkurtis yea I set the washers in the filter and just did one side at a time.

When you know it’s time to change it

[@EngineeredMojo]

For the fuel filter in Tacomas there isn't a specified change interval. I usually will replace my fuel filter every 3 years or 60k miles. Just a number I pulled from I believe another Toyota car model. Thing is with fuel filters their lifespan is totally dependent on the quality of fuel being used which can vary between suppliers regardless of grade used.

[@icub4ucstr8]

My experience with these type of in line filters is that if your vehicle is performing as new then don’t worry about changing the fuel filter ... if you experience hard starting, hesitation either when leaving a stop quickly or when attempting to accelerate up a hill or when passing someone then start trouble shooting by changing the fuel filter first! I replaced a fuel pump once and it turned out it was just the filter ... costly misdiagnosis ☹️
