just changed mine on my 86 pu re, took 30min. access passenger side under the hood. you might not see everything you are doing, but really its 2 bolts and 2 lines, its not a big job.

 

Underneath the intake manifold.

 

If i poo'd in a box and labeled it "LIFETIME" would you believe me?

 

lol sounds like the line from tommy boy.

 

i got almost 170k miles maybe ill get around to changing it

 

lol...

Here is a pic of where the sucker is at (its right about the starter) (its on a 22re!)

 

Seeing that pic, makes me thirsty.......lol

 

Seeing that pic makes me thirsty....lol

 

lol...gas doesn't taste so good!

 

Yotatech is acting up today for some reason, sorry for the x2 post

 

bro that's a nice action-shot there of the rusty gas pissing outta the filter

lol, that's some nastey stuff

I replaced mine with about 285k on it!!!

the fuel that came out didn't look that bad, lol, but I had the intake manifold off, and it was pretty much right there, so I replaced it...

I tried before removing the intake, and I said screw this, and just hung onto the filter for about 4 months, lol

 

87sr54runner just make sure the top bolt is a pain in the ass!!! and the bango fittings NEED A BRAKELINE WRENCH!!! no cresent wrench... took me a novice day... did the second one in an hour

 

I had mine off in like 15 mins. Of course being cold out was a motivator.
My old filter pissed out rusty crap like that after the gas. That was the whole cause of my no start condition.
Anyone move their filter to the upper wheel well?

 

I just get the 13 dollar ones and replace them every 6 months... Have had no issues.. works well for me!

Mine is right above the passenger rear wheel.......easy to get to.

Also that is dirty, hopefully it will get cleaner!

 

EVERY 6 months! That seems like overkill to me. I say at most every other year.

 

so how many miles did u say there were on your fuel filter and how much water did you add to your gas tank??

 

this is why the 22R is much better than the 22RE the fuel filter takes about 1 min to switch the hardest part is going and buying a fuel filter

 

so simply the fuel-filter location makes one motor superior to another?

 

I've got a fuel filter sitting in my garage but I can't get my old one off. It's been sitting there for 3 months now. Anyone have any tips on removing the hard lines and replacing them? That damn thing is just tight as hell

 

Odo. says 132k miles and been sitting for five years. Obviously I haven't owned the truck very long.
