Changing a fuel filter on a Hino 268 no one likes doing them

[@jrlopez5793]

As an experienced tool distributor, I found your video looking for a Hino 268 Tool to release the Crankcase Ventilation Filter and you have the most energetic and patience I've ever seen . Thanks for that amazing video and explanation. Regards JR Lopez

Thanks a bunch, after 38yrs you learn to have patience 😁 Thanks for watching If it’s the same model as this one, it’s located center top back under a rubber boot, just twist the cap off by hand…

Thanks for the video, this is a lot of help. I change the fuel/water separators out on my 2 Hinos myself. Always have, they're easy. But I've never done the engine mount filter myself. Have let the dealer do it, but I want to do it myself and this video gives me confidence. The manual states 240k for pm on this filter and my Hino dealer confirmed that they never change them before 240k and they never see any problems so that fuel/water separator must be catching most of the dirt. I did have a scare about a month ago. I changed the fuel/water separator for the umpteenth time and I think the rubber seal inside the filter somehow dislodged & covered the intake pipe. I started it up and let it idle while I went inside the fuel station to use the restroom. Came back out and the engine was off. It would not start after about 4 attempts at turning over the engine. Finally, I wised up and put the old filter back on and filled that plastic housing to the top with fuel. Floored the accelerator and started cranking the engine; another video recommended this to flood the engine quicker. After about 6-8 secs of turning over on the first attempt, she came alive.

Bro. I got a question for you. how reliable are the Hinos? and what's your thoughts on the 2010 hino 338? are they reliable or, full of problems like the old internationals? I would like to know something ..hit me up. Thanks .

Thank you. Did one yesterday. No room use band type of filter wrench. Was able use filter pliers.

[@al-haqqwilkins1618]

The trick is loosening up all of the tension from the lines on the top and taking your belt and use your belt on that back filter a belt is the only thing that will fit in there good especially when they have been on there for a long time the leather will grip and pull it right off but you have to position it properly and take your time.

Thank You. I just changed my fuel filter using this video.

Thanks AJ I hope this helped sorry about the steering rod in the way Thanks for watching

Hino tech here. The interval on these filters is 240,000 miles. I tell customers that I recommend replacing once a year. The hardest part about replacing them is getting the thing to start. Hino SRT is 0.9 hrs to replace this filter.

[@BubbaAyers1969]

Thanks randomwill7583 , I get mine to crank pretty easy, I’ll fill it then make a mess, but it helps

[@almam2166]

thank you so much,it was very helpful

[@BubbaAyers1969]

Thanks Alma M Sorry about that steering rod in the way, I hope your repair went well Thanks for watching

[@almam2166]

[@ericcook5586]

Thanks for the insight sir!!

[@BubbaAyers1969]

You welcome, when techs first see it there (how in the world?) after you do one there really simple.. thanks for watching

I am a bit of A DIY mechanic my filter was leaking and due to not having a Hino dealer nearby, I am trying to change my filter on my 258. The process looks very similar except the stem with the threads going into the filter seems like it is 2-3” long. It is making nearly impossible to remove. Am I doing something wrong? Or is it just different on my truck.

[@BubbaAyers1969]

With out pics it’s hard to know what you got there, on this truck the main fuel filter is usually short black filter, the water separator filter sometimes won’t go on until you remove the seal from the internal part of the housing that you put the filter on (fuel heater) on that stem make sure all the old seals are out.. if you don’t have that design you can send me some pics on my Instagram Bubba Thomas Ayers or Bubba Ayers just look for the same pic the blue square body Thanks for watching

[@azargelin]

Yeah just took off mine, the center bolt goes almost all the way to the bottom, the filter was also just empty canister

[@xDismantal]

i did the filter swap today but now my truck wont turn over just crank any solutions?? thanks in advance!

[@BubbaAyers1969]

Never had that issue with these

[@tanylogisticsgroupllc7052]

A video i have been looking for, i have 2018 Hino 268, i was told it should be changed at 240k miles, i have just passed that mark, but every shop we stopped to get it change, they are like we cant do that now, i believe it will take them some sizable time . Can i still run it to 250k then look for a shop that might take their time to change it. What do you advice kindly.

[@BubbaAyers1969]

Thanks TANY LOGISTICS GROUP LLC. 250K seems a lot, I would stick with a pm plan on that truck, I don’t think we even found one on ours, that filter got changed about every 700-1000hrs, it’s not hard to do, get them little brackets out the way your pretty much there (15 minutes maybe). I do suggest filling that filter (your probably going to spill some) before installing it and make sure your fuel/water separator filter has fuel in it, when the fuel water filter is remove make sure you get the seal out of it, they been known to stay in there.. contact a dealer on your unit on when to change yours, for as ok running it, I don’t remember if it has a restriction bypass in it, if it dose the filter probably not filtering then, if it don’t have a restricter bypass it should die on you for to long with that many miles on it, I hope this helps. Thanks for watching 👍

[@primalex18]

great video, but how to puerge air out after changing the filter? Thank sin advance.

[@BubbaAyers1969]

I find after I fill the fuel water separator up, it takes a bit but will fire up ok… Thanks for watching

[@thegreekguyviva-greece5881]

Prefill the filter. Slap her on. Cycle the key a few times.

[@pedrobastos3218]

would you buy a hino over an isb?

[@BubbaAyers1969]

Probably, We don’t have any issues with the Hino, the truck holds up great.. Thanks for watching

Where is the primer pump on these

[@BubbaAyers1969]

There’s not one, I try to put that filter back on with as much fuel in it as possible Thanks for watching 👍

@@BubbaAyers1969never understood why they wouldn’t put a priming pump on these motors.

[@BubbaAyers1969]

Me either, the new ones we got don’t have them
