fuel filter problems


Recommended Posts

hey guys i just recently changed my fuel filter and now i'm having some fuel trouble.. the car won't start..

it was fine for the first week and just today it didn't want to start.. (drove to sydney fine,, just need to get back on sunday)

it seems that theres no pressure coming from the filter..

any idea's? would something just have popped out? after a week?

i'm going to have a good look in the morining.. will get back..

has anyone eles had this problem?

thanks in advance

Sounds like you have fitted one of the o rings incorrectly... Happens fairly often...

Pull it apart again and check all the o rings for fitment and condition...

Also, when refitting them, lube them with silicone spray or similar to ensure they go on correctly...

Yeah sounds like you have pinched on of the o-rings. I hate it when that happens. :S

Piece of ***** haha... I do them all the time at work...

Corolla Fuel Filter takes about 10 mins...

My thoughts exactly - the hardest/longest bit is bleeding the fuel system, after that the rear seat just pops off and the fuel pump cover is right there.

thanks for the help guys,,

it was one of the O rings at the top, came loose and thats why it wasn't holding any pressure..

all fixed now and running smooth..

Is it the same amount of time for a stivo? I know it might sound stupid to ask but my mechanic gives me the impression that it is not that easy for some reason...

Good work Wil :)

Same amount of time for a Stivo, once you've done a few you can do them all...

Except the new RAV4's, retards at Toyota forgot to put a hole in the cabin floor so the tanks have to come out to change the filters in those, same as all the newer daihatsu's...

Thread Revival!

I had my car serviced on Friday, and afterwards, didn't have any trouble...

The next day (saturday), My car didn't want to start, and so i had to get it towed to a local mechanic.

Seems i have been having trouble with the Fuel filter, same trouble as Wil above.

What i want to know is, where is it located, how can i access it, and how do i correct it, so it no longer plays up?

Thankyou :D
