I found this fuel filter on Amazon for super cheap:
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000...
Let me know if that link stops working.
This is everything you need to know about changing the fuel filter on a 1998 Toyota Tacoma. This video should be good for all the Tacomas from 1995 till 2004. Its pretty simple to do. All you need is a basic wrench set. (The largest you'll need is a 19mm) and the filter itself. The filter was 30-35 bucks at my local auto parts store. Having a clean fuel filter increases your Miles Per Gallon that your vehicle gets.
Leave any questions in the comments and make sure to like the video if it helps you!

You of all people made a video on this. Crazy how much this channel expanded! Congrats!

@SeventhSamurai72 11 лет назад

Wow, a lot of people seemed to give you flak on this. Thank you for taking the time to record, edit and post this. I appreciate your effort :)

@xXShadyWarriorXx 10 лет назад

I got a 97 taco an this vid really helped thx man keep posting the vids.

@GeorgeDOtwell 11 лет назад

Doesn't get much simpler than that. Thank you brother. Iv got over 200,000 on my 01. Everything under hood is original other than water pump. It just started cutting out a little today. I'll start with fuel filter. Pray that's it.

@JerryRigEverything 11 лет назад

There is an awesome spray called 'PB Blaster' Spray that on it and wait 10-15 min (or overnight) and that might help you get it lose. You can get 'PB blaster' or any other penetrating spray at an auto parts store, or click the link in the video description and search on Amazon. You can usually get it for under 10-15 dollars.

330k is very impressive. Even for a Tacoma. Have fun man!

How far this RU-vidr has come !

@SoWhyDontYou 11 лет назад

Thanks for video changed mine on a 2001 tacoma. Easy to do!!!!

@garrison0395 11 лет назад

Thanks, I have 330k miles on mine and never changed the fuel filter so I didn't know where it was, awesome

@JerryRigEverything 11 лет назад

The generic filters have been tested and receive just as high, if not higher ratings than the Toyota filters.

@JerryRigEverything 11 лет назад

Thanks! I'm glad I could help.

@viperro4542 4 года назад

Did the Toyota survive the bend test?

@capeannboat 6 лет назад

The filter on 03/04 models is in the engine bay, it makes it a much more difficult fix.

@ericflacoguerrero2017 3 года назад

I have a 2003 Tacoma and the filter it’s located on a different place 😥 it’s like underneath the engine and it looks super complicated to take it out.

@wilsonm59 3 года назад

Thanks. Really helped to know wrench sizes. I'll get a 14mm flare wrench. Those flare nuts are really soft. I'd hoped to find a way keep the gas from spilling during the change, but guess I'll just put down a wide pan to catch it.

@drishy94303 2 года назад

I ruined my flare nut trying to get it off without a 14mm flare box wrench. I live in Canada and was trying to get it done in winter here. Now I have to figure out how to replace the hard line and re-flare the end. Super pain in the ass.

@FlopSideOfLife2009 11 лет назад

Thanks.... now to do it. Saved me 120 bucks.

@captaincope4303 6 лет назад

Ummm what about the copper washers? Just did mine twice ugh! Use the rubber cap from new one to stop flow from tank while changing.

@JerryRigEverything 11 лет назад

Glad I could help.

How do u do a fuel press test on same vehicle

@artvandeleah9952 3 месяца назад

Hi, is this for a 4 cyl Tacoma or 6 cyl? I need to replace on 2002 Tacoma prerunner 4cyl with 246k miles

@geological95 2 года назад

The 2001 Toyota Tacoma 2.4 fuel filter is located under the exhaust manifold in the engine compatment. Somewhat difficult to replace.

@cadeflanery4548 3 года назад

What made you replace fuel filter? What was the truck doing? Jw

@ADVENTURE_HP 3 года назад

My filter screws are stripped what should i do

@TheLagunero23 6 месяцев назад

Does it need to be primed after installing the new filter ? Thanks for the video man 🤙🏼

@Camrographer 10 лет назад

Thank you for posting!

@JerryRigEverything 10 лет назад

Thank you for watching!

@Bob38555 6 лет назад

My 1998 Tacoma has the fuel filter right under the intake manifold. Damn near impossible to get to without some disassembly. Plus, mine is connected with Banjo Nuts, so no line wrench required

@bizwiz21 11 лет назад

Very helpful...thanks!

@kevinstronger1310 2 года назад

What year?? Cause on some there not serviceable

@TheJoncic 10 лет назад

Thanks for the video.

@JerryRigEverything 10 лет назад

No problem, glad I could help!

@TheJoncic 10 лет назад

Did you have to use washers or o-rings to on the fuel line? My fuel filter came with 4 tiny small washers and I am not sure where they are supposed to go.

@JerryRigEverything 10 лет назад

Hmm, Im not sure. Mine did not come with those.

@johnoktavec 6 лет назад

thanks buddy,know what i gotta do tomorrow,not bad have done worse ones.cya.

@mikekefr 10 лет назад

Is that thread tape i saw at the end? I installed one of these today on my 92 yota 4x4, leaked some...i took it off and cleaned the threads, still leaked, tried teflon thread tape, still leaked. The crush washers didn't seem to help, they crushed down crooked and leaked as well. This is the 2nd filter over several years, i noticed last time i had to tighten it as humanly possible, today i bent the larger built on nut on the filter, the larger nut caved in on both ends from so much force tightening it, and yet leaked. Maybe the fuel line ends are worn? IDK but tomorrow i'm cutting the flared ends off the fuel lines and goin to install a K&N inline see through filter with new rubber fuel lines attached to the freshly cut metal lines. The truck sat for a couple years prior to me buying it and i realize things wear out but damn, half a day trying to get a new fuel filter to stop leaking is ridiculous. New outlook on a new fuel filter setup tomorrow.

@JerryRigEverything 10 лет назад

With my last tacoma I was having similar issues. I think its a smart idea to go to the new filter. You should make a video and post it up to youtube. I'd be interested to see how you do it.

@tripacer8259 10 лет назад

Thanks for posting this video, I can't imagine why anyone would bitch about this! THANKS AGAIN!!

@JerryRigEverything 10 лет назад

Thanks! I am glad I could help.

@RamblingTexasRose 11 лет назад

Only on a V-6 engine it's located on the left side underneath on the floorboard, if it's a 4 cylinder engine it's a little harder to replace, it's attached to the intake manifold under the manifold near the number one cylinder, towards the front of the engine. I so happen to have the 4 cylinder and it's not going to be easy to replace as your video here on a 6. Thanks for posting...now show us a 4 cylinder filter replacement. ha!

@mountainbiker44 4 года назад

Rambling Rose good point

@rkstew 9 лет назад

Hey Jerry, it depends on the engine type. In a 2003 tacoma with a 2.4 liter engine, the fuel filter is under the intake manifold. Not an easy replacement!

@Stylensky 8 лет назад

+rkstew ...The "easiest" way to change the filter is to remove the passenger front wheel. Remove the mud guard. Remove the starter (yes, I said the starter). Then you can reach in through the fender over the frame and remove the filter.

@vancebortonii7246 7 лет назад

Stylensky you can also invest in some swivel extensions and some standard length extensions a simple ratchet will do the trick pretty quickly. the only issue I had when I changed mine was for some reason there was no 16 mm socket in my tool kit from Autozone. luckily the passthrough bolts were loose enough to use the 11/16

@Bob38555 6 лет назад

Mine is on the driver's side under the intake manifold.

@lifeisgood070 11 лет назад

Dude.... you're lucky. Mine is under the intake manifold. I got nothing but a fuel line next to that parking brake lever.

@tr4ilblazin 4 года назад

Yo do one for the 2005 bro

@rudyrecendez2543 9 лет назад

, thank you very very much

@virgojeep1 11 лет назад

your so lucky. 94 Toyota truck filter is up under the intake in the most difficult place to reach.

@IWBVS 8 лет назад

how often are we supposed to change out the fuel filter?

@roberthunter5059 4 года назад

60k miles

@JerryRigEverything 11 лет назад

How about you make a video, and ill post it as a video response to mine. That way everyone can benefit from your expertise. I am fresh out of 4 cylinder Tacomas at the moment.

@waynes.2983 8 лет назад

2004 Tacoma with 2.7 liter motor is in a different location. it is much more difficult to access.

@Gooche 3 года назад

I stripped the crap out of the bolt on one side.. any recommendations?

@antoniosoto6746 3 года назад

Small pipe wrench. Worked for me 👍

@cooldd82 3 года назад

My 2002 Toyota Tacoma's fuel filter is under engine in middle of truck not by driver side door.

@Remaagen 10 лет назад

Invest money in some Flare Nut wrenches. Prevent stripping of the nuts. Take off the fuel cap. That'll help depressurize the fuel tank.

@JerryRigEverything 10 лет назад

Thanks, will do.

@fishfire_2999 7 лет назад

Idontcare_626 No it wont stop telling stories,the pressure is between the filter and the pumpTank might burp big deal

@vancebortonii7246 7 лет назад

gtube if they don't want it to burp they could remove the fuel pump relay and start the car once it turns off from the fuel being use in the lines it would be depressurized. just saying as a safety precaution for those who don't work around fuel very often.

@nicparker3809 5 лет назад

they are not called flare nut wrenches you moron!

@jasonheath143 10 лет назад

My 1997 tacoma has a fuel filter on the drivers side of the block underneath the intake

@Rojaktube 2 года назад

How do you end up changing the fuel filter?

@mattgolden9132 9 лет назад

Thanks for posting this video. I have a 96 T100 and my filter is exactly where yours is. My problem is that my truck idles very rough on warm starts. In other words, I can go into the grocery store for 30 min and when I come back out she will start but idle very hard and if I put her into a gear the motor dies. Could this be the fuel filter, the fuel pump, or both?

@JerryRigEverything 9 лет назад

Matt Golden Could also be a throttle position sensor. I had the same issue on my toyota tacoma.

@rkgsd 9 лет назад

It could be semi-clogged injectors considering how old T100s are now. Maybe start by having them cleaned. Probably better to bite the bullet and have a Toyota dealer diagnose it since there's too many things it could be.

@HotaTeh 11 лет назад

Both of the nuts are stuck fast on mine and I want to avoid stripping them. Any advice?

@Salve_Regina8 5 лет назад

Use flare wrenches.

@AMGBRABUS100 9 лет назад

TANKS BRO

@JerryRigEverything 9 лет назад

LUIS DINIZ DE ABREU Abreu No problem!

@roberthunter5059 4 года назад

This most be the V6, because Toyota hates 4-cylinder owners. It's under the intake manifold. What the hell, Toyota?!

@jamesearly729 10 лет назад

Thank you, JerryRigEverything. I think you are a smart guy, not a jackass, that he who tries to degrade others with disparaging comments only degrades himself and that even one with vastly superior intelligence, no Enida, you have yet to prove that, who puts down anybody who has even inferior intelligence, only reflects negatively on he who puts others down. You, JerryRigEverything have obviously put some time and work into this and have done us a fine favor in that a garage mechanic would probably charge at least $100 for this where I live in Southern California. Again, thank you very much. Subscribing to you videos.

@JerryRigEverything 10 лет назад

Thank you for your very kind words. Nice comments like this is what keeps me making helpful videos for RU-vidrs to learn from. I use RU-vid to learn new things all the time. It benefits everyone. Thank you again for subscribing!

@nickm9134 10 лет назад

I have a 95 tacoma 2.7 4x4. I wish it was that simple as your video but unfortunately my fuel filter isn't there. Just wanted to throw out that some tacomas have their fuel filter under the intake manifold and is a pain in the ass to get your hands in and replace.

@heavymechanic2 10 лет назад

I read an article that Toyota hides the fuel filter because there is no reason to change it unless it clogs up, it holds a lot of dirt lol. Some of my coworkers do not agree that a filter can last 100K or even longer.

@timothyroark2026 10 лет назад

heavymechanic2 just looking for info on changing a fuel filter on 96 2.4, have owned since new, never changed, changed starter, first time derby day, truck has 360k.

@nickm9134 10 лет назад

With that many miles a fuel filter change would probably be a must lol

@garyquisenberry4244 6 лет назад

Nick Melnykov I've been hunting for that thing all day found out I'm to old to change a fuel filter is pretty weak but I have mechanic freinds and your adivice saved my day thanks Gary q

@jamesearly729 10 лет назад

P.S., Sorry for the errors in typing. The amazon link still works.

@jordancharla870 3 года назад

Vague title. My 2002 filter is by the gas tank. Others are under the starter. I wish mine was this easy.

@dropsquad7029 3 года назад

hey i also have a 2002 mine looks just like this

@endeavorrv 8 лет назад

What year is your Taco?

@JerryRigEverything 8 лет назад

+Keith Cassinger 1998

@endeavorrv 8 лет назад

Got it. I have a 2007 and when I checked mine is in the gas tank and does not need servicing.

@robcabob1og 2 года назад

It's not under the driver's side door

@giantAsFan 11 лет назад

I have a 95 tacoma how do u change it?

@Erokia. 9 месяцев назад

That's a weird looking phone..

@jimlahey90 10 лет назад

Note: Do not make this filter change with a full tank of fuel, the flow of fuel through the line doesn't stop. my job was horrendous because i did it this way.

@JerryRigEverything 10 лет назад

Hmm... it really shouldn't be pressurized that much.

@cnguyen32 9 лет назад

Did you release pressure from the gas tank by opening the fuel cap?

@elliottrodgers6557 4 года назад

Pull out the fuse marked epi and crank the engine. It won't start but it'll depressurize the fuel lines so you can cleanly remove the fuel filter

@sidreid5186 10 лет назад

Not true on the 1998 Tacoma the fuel filter is underneath the manifold where it is a bitch to get to they said you would have to take off the manifold but you can to it by taking off the tire and reach though the inside but you have to have small arms I am doing this as we speak good luck !!!!

@JerryRigEverything 10 лет назад

sid reid Dang man! They must have switched the fuel filter location mid year, because on my 98 Tacoma it is back by the rear tire like in the video. Good luck!

@sidreid5186 10 лет назад

Might Have!!!!! but either way it was not fun to get too . And thanks I need a lot of luck HEE HEE
