I was wondering where the fuel filter is located on a 22RE. I have heard conflicting reports. Some sources say the filter is inline, others in tank. Any help would be appreciated.

 

[blacktoy]

it's right under the intake, mounted on the engine block...

 

[Dirty85yota]

It's a bitch!

The fuel filter is under the intake manifold. It has 2 bango type fitings, they are hard to reach. You can get to them with some good effort.

filter under the intake, pump in the fuel tank.

Its in the intake... you guys.... why are you fawkin with him... here's the deal man...

Take off the throttle body, the plenum, then when you get to the lower manifold, unbolt the fuel rail to reduce the pressure of the fuel (otherwise a fire may occur), then look under the intake, there are 2 12mm bolts and 2 17mm bolts that hold the banjo's on. Your fuel filter is now yours... have fun with reassembly.

Your sources obviously have never actually worked on a 22RE.

just reach under the intake with a 17 mm box and a 12 mm socket. watch out that you do not disconnect the knock sensor

 

[RushTransAm]

Yeah one of the sources is a friend of a friend, and the other is a generic Toyota truck book. I thought that looked like the filter down under the intake, but I wasn't sure. Thanks for the replies!

damn all you guys do shit the hard way.

take the access panel out in the passengerside fender well. :flipoff2:

and if it is still hard to reach remove the oil filter and starter. It sits under the intake behind the oil filter and above the starter.

 

[DRM]

Grim nailed it - use the access panel!

Kajo also mentioned one thing, disconnect the starter @ the battery first, boxed end wrenched WILL end up on the starter

Oh, and get prepared to cut your hands up, thee seems to be a ton of sharp edges down there to catch your hands on.

 

[NOODLES]

how about removing the fuel cap too, to stop the syphon, make the job a little cleaner. sucks to put a new filter in while it is continuing to pour gas out the fuel hose.

there is a filter in the tank as well. :flipoff2:

I will bet no one ever thinks of it though................. :laughing:

 

[GTA3wheeler]

na. that is a pickup screen on the fuel pump.

 

[RockDude415]

I'll be darned! I never even noticed that access panel! Thanks! That'll make a 4 hour fuel filter change go a leetle beeet faster! I feel like a bit of an idiot now! Duuuuh to me!

I've pulled the fuel tank and fuel pump a couple years ago. I don't remember any fuel filter in the tank. There is a screen on the bottom of the fuel pump, but thats standard issue. Its not something you replace under normal circumstances.
