Hi Peter, After careful inspection of my 1995 Toyota corolla, I found out that both my fuel lines, mainly return line, and my brake lines have huge rust buildup and ready to burst any minute. The Toyota dealer in my area just outside Chicago Illinois wanted $1998 to replaced the fuel lines and most likely another $2000 to replace brake lines and the reason being is that they have to take muffler and the fuel tank to do the work. Other shops were not any cheaper. After watching your video on how to replace the fuel filter, I learned to make connection to fuel lines at the engine side. Then I started watching your other videos and I realized that I don't need to take muffler and gas tank out to make connection to fuel tank. Toyota has an access opening under the seat to make such connection and all shops are wrong about taking muffler and gas tank out. Today I finished the work on replacing all fuel lines and brake lines thank to you. The car runs great and brakes very well. Thanks again and keep up the good work. I saved over $4000 in car repair on this car alone. Ali
Thank you Peter! Got Corolla Wagon 2002 as my first car, it's 7th generation one (E100 series), car was made for the Japanese market and later found itself in Russia where I own it now. Your video helped a lot to deal with this nasty fuel filter, when I was replacing it for the first time. Further step is to fix parking brake, and it's great you've got guides for it! Will definitely use :)
I watched a couple other videos on replacing the fuel filter and everyone else said u had to depressurize the fuel lines, each person said the relay fuse was in a different place. We decided just to crack it open & let it leak out. It was fine. No gas shooting out in streams like other people mentioned. Also my new filter didnt come with the bottom o ring washer, but I think the replacement part was designed so it didnt have it, runs fine, no leaks. Thanks for sharing as always, your videos are so helpful!
Thank you Peter for all of your teachings! Very clear and useful information. I had some issues in keeping the inlet side copper washer aligned when tightening the nut. It was always off center and thus leaked gasoline. My dad suggested that I "glue" the copper seal to the filter with a bit of vaseline before installing it. Worked really nicely and no leaks on the first try!
Hello, Thank you for posting this excellent video that i needed to figue out how to connect my new fuel line to fuel filter. I know what to do now but not sure if the bolts that are holding the fuel filter and canister will come out giving the rust that exists on the car. Thank you so much Ali
Peter..."your the man"!! Great lighting and explanations for us "wanna be " mechanics. Helped me sooo much. Wow...great explanation AND PATIENCE!!! I own a 1990 and 2017 corolla. Much appreciate your video on older corolla....✌ greetings from Los Angeles suburbs.
I guess im randomly asking but does anyone know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Oakley Elliott Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thank you once again. I just replaced my fuel and air filter without any problems due to your detailed video. Very much appreciated. If I can ever do anything for you please let me know?
Do you know? You one of the best person on the earth. I have same car. I learn lot from you. If my car have any problem. Just watch your video. Thanks brother
Thankyou sir. I was felling to clean my crolla 1998 fuels filter becoz when i start in morning it take time to get ready. Checked with mechanic he said he will change the filters. So i want yo do it my self coz its easiy and i have all tolls. Thanks you sir
Excellent video. Well explained in full detail during the whole process. I have a question? What kind of video camera you used and how you keep so well focus all the time! Thanks.
1991 Celica is very much the same. It is not easy job. I could not get my filter down that low to loosen the bottom line. I did manage to disconnect it though after cursing a lot lol
Great! I have a question. My car with same engine works fine on CNG. Its starts and runs smoothly. But it has issues in petrol mode. Its start on Petrol but then turns off after 5-6 seconds. Cranks well. Fuel pump is renewed. Still issue. Fuel pressure is fine which is checked (as you shown in your one video). But still there is issue with petrol but not on CNG. Have shown to mechanics also but no solution yet. Any idea or suggestion please?
Dang this actually takes a little time... I might have to just buy the fuel filter part and take it to my mechanic. I don’t have the tools either for this :/
Got a 1997 Corolla LE 1.6L, fuel filter was a pain in replacement. That it would fix problem of run then dies after 6 minutes or so on the road. Letting car cool down for 10 minutes able to start car/run. Then just dies. Battery is 12.7v, 14.5V with engine running. Peter Finn or anyone, do you think it is the Crankshaft Sensor or Fuel Pump that that is bad?
I have a 2001 corolla S , i never would guess that the fuel filter was in the engine area lol . I was going crazy looking under my car to find the fuel filter ...
Thanks again Peter! This is same for 2000 model year? I only saw info about filter inside of the tank and that it didn't need replacing. Today I finally found info that 2000 had two (including this one that should be replaced as you suggest). I also read that you should pull a fuse or disconnect the battery prior to this replacement?
Um, as I thought, my 2000 only has the fuel filter in the fuel tank, not this inline one on the firewall. Therefore I think your 2000-2002 designation is incorrect.
Looks like the hardest part of the tune up. I've done cars where the filter is under the car like by under the door. I'm wondering if I want to do this.
I have this model of toyota, but the fuel filter is a little bit different, has a quick disconnect fitting on top, part number 2330022030. Do you know what is needed to release quick disconnect fittings?
Hi, Peter: My car is 2001 Toyota Corolla LE. Do you think I can follow your video to replace my car fuel filter? Does 2001 Toyota Corolla LE use the same type of fuel filter as showed in your video?
My 2001 Corolla with the 1.8L does not appear to have a fuel filter there and I can't find the part online anywhere, it only shows a fuel filter as part of the fuel pump assembly. Is yours a USA version Corolla? Any idea what the part number is?
Ok, i have a 2000 corolla and there is nothing there under the master cylinder. For me it was with the fuel pump assembly, and im not talking about the little screen bag thingy. This video was vey missleading.
My 91 corolla seems very slow to accelerate and pick up speed, I’ve changed the spark plugs and wires, dib cap. Could these be it needs a new fuel filter?
No, our cars have it in the engine bay, most have it under the frame just after the fuel tank and some have it in the tank, but there's usually never more than one filter. There is a fuel strainer on the fuel pump to keep the pump from getting ruined though.
Hi, I have toyota corolla 1999, but according the catalogue there is no any gasket on bottom pipe, only couple rings for upper one. I ordered the genuine toyota fuel filter and it comes with two gasket also. May be we have different models. My model is AE111L-AEPNKW. What's your model number?
I have a 2000 toyota corolla and i don't have one like you do there. I know the main fuel filter and the fuel filter is inside the tank? what year is the car you are working on here? thanks
the bottom nut wont come off of the fuel filter. its rusted and wont budge. do u know a solution? its a corolla e110 hatchback 1.6 vvti 2000. thank you sir.
My dad told me that when he was a young mechanic, no one wanted to change a fuel filter to Toyota with fuel injection in the service he used to work since it was so difficult task
My car is a toyota corolla 2001. My question is -Where can I locate this fuel filter? Is the same location indicated in the video? -Every time I fill my fuel tank, I turn on my car and then it turns off. already change new fuel pump. What could be the problem?
My Corolla is 2001 and the fuel filter is not in that place, I can't find it anywhere, I looked for it in the engine compartment, under the car, near the gas tank and I can't find it
I have 1995 prizm can't get bottom of fuel filter disconnected....nut is tight. Will try again tomorrow. Also, you can start the car with the air hoses all disconnected??
Omg of course i fucked up the part that cost 1000 dollars lol fuck that im about to put high presure hose and a hose clamp if i cant find the right flare nut which no one seems to have
This bolt is bad, I sometimes have nightmares about the bolt myself. But you can also get the bolt open when you have the right tools. Round and shaped also from the corners. And if you have a gas stove or a gas flame, heat the pipe bolt for a moment. In that case, also call the fire department as a backup, because the engine can catch fire and then the car and your house can also burn. Be careful !
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor lol it would definitely blow up and il die then they will say he committed suicide and I can't even defend myself 🤦. I gave up on the bolt I'm going to take it to a mechanic, I was planning on doing the water pump also then I noticed the bolt wasn't even square anymore it was round so gana get the mechanic to fix that also, thanks for the reply i ordered fuel injector also and been watching ur video I'm going to attempt that also. All the best bro 👍🙏😊
