Can you change the FUEL FILTER on a Toyota Corolla?
I have a 2002 Camry, 125,000 miles on it. Still has original filter on it. Has not been changed. You may not have to change it unless you get some bad gas
Can you change the FUEL FILTER on a Toyota Corolla?
I may be wrong but I've never heard of a fuel filter inside the tank, maybe the fuel pump but not the filter. At any rate, if there is a filter that can be replaced chances are there is at least one and maybe two on the fuel line. Get under the vehicle and trace the fuel line from the tank forward to the engine, if you see a metal can looking thing about the same size of a prescription pill bottle or a clear plastic one that you can see gasoline in thats one of them.
Go to the engine and check to see where the fuel line is screwed in and look to see if there is a smaller container, it may be only about as big around as a AA battery and about half that in length. You may not have the one on the engine but I'd almost bet there is one on the line somewhere.
Don't smoke or have any open flame or heat sources around while your doing removal or installation. Have a drip pan within reach and a piece of cork or rag to stop up both ends of the line. If you get gas on your bare skin, wash it off with plain old soap and water, if you get it on your clothes, take them off quick or you might get a heck of a blister.
your answer is yes you can change the fuel filter. whether you want to or not is up to you. are you having a problem with fuel delivery? if so than by all means change it. if not than i would not bother after all it is a difficult process to do. not impossible just difficult.if you don't have any mechanical savy than i would recommend you take it somewhere to have this done.
