I don't seem to have a fuel filter,,,,
This discussion was adressed in another thread and was never resolved, but the old thread had gotten long and tedious to read. Anyway I have a 1981 SR5 5 Speed equipped with the 22R and the fuel pump right on the front of the head and run by the camshaft. I am told the fuel filter should be on one of the crossmembers near the tank, but unless it is a truly tiny (meaning not much bigger in diameter than the fuel line) there simply is nothing resembling a fuel filter along any of the lines from the tank. I can barely get my hand on those lines as it is, and if there was a filter there I simply cannot find it.
What I am asking is if someone has an old 81 2WD Toyota pickup, do they know where their fuel filter was? Is there any possibility they put it inside the tank? Also how big is the filter? Thanks in advance

For an RE it is, for an R it is on top of the passenger side frame rail at the front edge of the gas tank, right behind the cab. All of them I've ever messed with have been there but then my experience goes back as far as '83 models. Is it different before then?

Nevermind the pic, I found it and I am so pleased I will not have to get gas and dirt in my eye playing around under the truck where my hands don't want to fit.

One thing disturbs ne. The filter cost over 6 bucks. Are all Toyota oarts nasty expensive? This is my first forein vehicle. My old Chevys fuel filter, which was metal and better made was only about $2.
