My 2000 Toyota 4runner factory service manual actually instructs to depressurize the fuel system by pulling the electrical connection to the fuel pump that you mention briefly and running the engine until it stalls. The engine doesn't actually start when you do this but I think it does help de-pressurize the fuel lines. It's not just the mess of gas spilling out that is a concern but lines under pressure are harder to break free. At first I didn't think removing the gas cap would help that much to also take pressure off the system but it actually does. I learned this when dropping the fuel tank on a 3rd Gen 4runner. I'm curious what manual you're using that says just wrap a rag around the fuel line when disconnecting them from the fuel filter? Anyway, welcome to the 3rd Gen 4runner club. I like your channel and I think you're going to gain quite a following over time. I watched that interview about your history and was impressed with what I learned about you. You're following your dreams and you're quite the entrepreneur. Good luck with your channel, your automotive repair business and your All Girls Garage Show. Sincerely, Timmy the Toolman

Awesome

[@NewBootMedia]

I love how clear and descriptive you are with your repair! I can also clearly see what you are removing and re-installling from the tools, to the cleaning process! this is an EXCELLENT instructional video. I will highly recommend you to people that ask me HOW-TO automotive questions. Keep it up girl! you are doing great!

[@jefferyjackson3931]

PLEASE keep making the 4Runner videos!!! You have thousands and thousands of people that subscribed to your Channel just because you were so very helpful and detailed about making the Toyota 4Runner videos. Thank you so much for everything and cannot wait to see your next 4Runner video.

[@offroad-fan1805]

3:28 : Pre-tightening the clamp of the fuel filter using grip pliers makes it so much easier to tighten the screw... 😲 Learning these little tricks is one of the reasons why I love watching repair videos (even as I'm no mechanic, just a diy'er).

[@773BangLS]

Watched her on Sunday and she blessed us with a Monday video nice....

[@greglevandoski2983]

Just picked up a filter yesterday and found this video today! The video is well shot and well explained with professional level advice. Thank you!

#1 Toyota technician on you tube.

[@JamesDziezynski]

I still drive a battle-tested 1998 4Runner here in the mountains of Colorado. It's awesome when a semi-intimidating repair is explained so clearly. Great video, very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@jeffkeryk3550]

A very overlooked service. I did this on our trusty 2001 Tundra. Thanks for the video Faye.

[@mikezimmerman2786]

Started working on cars 1962 first year of vo-tech high school I'm impressed by this young lady and enjoy her videos.

[@UncutBananas]

Thank you for your content! I love working on my third-gen and I always check with you first!

[@capritoolssupport4908]

Nice to see our air blow gun in action! As always, GREAT JOB!

[@chrishelm4371]

I enjoy and appreciate the work you're putting in on the Toyotas. I just bought a 2019 Tacoma, I feel that when ever the time comes to do any maintenance I'll be well prepared.

[@tonygiszter4136]

Thank you! Just got a 4runner and all your videos are a great help!

[@jayrussell612]

Great instructions! 4runner running better than ever!. Just disconnected the battery like she said and used a rag. I barely leaked any gas. Thank you faye

[@stephenmoxley3004]

Great video, Faye. Really enjoyed the sound track and learned a good tip about writing the date on the replaced filter. And you concluded with the silkies! Love those little guys.

[@710pappy]

Yes please keep making videos the world needs al the teaching it can get

[@charlesmyers3848]

Thanks for the info and for not allowing the bombardment of ads!

[@Darkmattersfrank]

I have a running project 3rd Gen 4runner. It has all kinds of issues. Your videos are very helpful and well edited making it easy to understand.

[@FayeHadley]

I'm so glad that you enjoy them thank you for the feedback!!!

[@1jimjiminy]

Very nice job Faye very clean very efficient very professional keep up the good work lady.

[@JAnderson]

Excellent video. The audio is so clear and your descriptions of what you are showing in the video is spot on. Keep up the great work. I have 280k miles on my 99 4Runner and it's still going strong.

[@FayeHadley]

That's freaking awesome!!! I'm aaaaaalmost at 310k!!

[@mrghiax]

Grim Repo is great looking 4Runner. Looks fantastic in white too. Great video as always.

[@jgfinn3]

Very clear and obvious. You dont skip any steps. Thank you.

[@FayeHadley]

Of course! Glad you liked it!

[@oilhammer04]

Before I started buying new cars, I had to do lots of my own maintenance. My older son recently had to change out his anti lock braking system manifold (not sure if that is what is called). He had to download software on a computer to get all the air out when bleeding the system. I was impressed that he takes responsibility for car maintenance to such an extent. Thank you for sharing your car repair videos. I enjoy watching people fix things.

[@roblox_haha5943]

Faye, you make the most awesome video. Very clean when you are doing the maintenance repairs, which is very important. Thank you

[@ronaldhagadorn5512]

I know u have a money making college degree! Backing u! This tells me how much of a passion u have for mechanics! Luv u faye!

[@marvb67]

Good Stuff Faye, Toyota's are so easy to work on, and you make it look even easier. Thanks for the great and informative video!!

[@alexv5581]

At least the old school trucks, I wouldn't say that about modern toyotass with all the electronics crap.

[@jayhockley8841]

Nice video with nice music . Thanks for not making it with Heavy Metal blaring throughout it like so many others do .

[@aaronshall9258]

Thanks for not forgetting the 🐔! There awesome! Happy holidays Faye!

[@painterman7327]

Awsome video, I have a 99 4runner your right they are easy to work on yourself and it saves a person a ton of money by doing your own repairs now I know how to go about doing the filter thanks again!

[@davidpena4266]

Very helpfully, I watched the video on my phone under the 4runner and got it done.

[@lianahouston8098]

Hella useful - best videos I've found so far! Working on a air-fuel mixture ratio problem with my 2000 4runner. Replaced fuel pump & filter, charcoal canister, next up is 02 sensors. Would be rad if you can do 02 sensor change video next!

[@robinhiggins2090]

Always love your channel thanks so much for sharing with us

[@chrisburger4518]

Helpful video - changed the fuel filter in my '01 SR5 2WD this morning. I did have to run out and get a deep 10mm socket, but otherwise easy peasy. My truck has 142K miles and I did see some black fuel run out of the filter once removed.

[@louiludog]

I'm glad I found your channel jeez what a turn on and you drive a 3rd gen!? Lord have mercy

[@hp2402]

[@kakihunter]

By all means keep making videos! Your adorable competence is engaging and inspiring. I have a 2000 4Runner that my son works on. He sent me your video and asked if he could replace my fuel filter. If that doesn’t speak volumes about how effective your demos are then I dunno what could be better! Kaki

[@leovargas897]

No thank you! Serious your video was straight to the point with added tips and the vibe was awesome and with all due respect you're super cute 👍

[@CaptainFALKEN]

@@leovargas897 🤦‍♂️

[@jasongannon7676]

Thanks for your time making the video

[@Jerry-sy8rd]

FYI...in 1998 my Toyota dealer...AND the SE Toyota regional rep told me that the fuel filter on my 1995 T100 was a “non serviceable part”. This, after the fuel lines had to be destroyed getting the original off and I wanted THEM to pay for the new ones. The factory had apparently WAY OVERTIGHTENED the connections. Last year I changed it again. NO problems...except for the drips😀. Great video! It shouldn’t be a problem😅. 290,000 miles and running good!

[@thedudegrowsfood284]

Faye, you ROCK.

[@danmay9728]

Thanks for the tip Faye, be safe. Peace. Love the chickens.

[@petercannava3236]

thanks for another great video!!

[@rbspider]

Great camera work , love the close ups . I will admit that seeing all that fuel made me nervous .

[@jeremyanthony9300]

Excellent video Faye. Love your channel. Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and your family.

[@Yavor54]

I had to watch it twice. Oh, the description was perfect the first time.....

[@tracynorton6410]

love your vids on the 4Runner....I have a 98 as well (4x4 w/ manual tranny which I refer to as the 'Homestar 4Runner family wagon'). Your videos are REALLY helpful. I bought more tools....haha.

[@dukemagnus6620]

Love to see you do car cranking snd pumping the gas pedal thank you have a good day

[@christopherbrown5338]
