Does anyone have a picture or diagram showing the location; or even a good description? I can't find a fuel filter anywhere on my truck, and I'm beginning to suspect that someone in the past removed and bypassed it. If I'm not just overlooking it and it really is missing, then I'd like to readd a fuel filter to the system, but I'd like to know where it is supposed to be located first.

I'd take a picture but my camera died last night. I can't even find it in the FSM...that's weird. Too easy to even be in the maintenance section?
I'd have to guess if you're having this much trouble finding it, it isn't there. If you sit down right under your gas cap and look up under the truck, it should be right there, on top of the frame. You should be able to find the fuel lines coming off the top of the gas tank, and if you don't find a filter along them...I guess it's not there.

Ok I found a diagram in the FSM but it won't show you any better than that explanation.

Does it bolt/screw to anything or is it just supported by the fuel lines attached to it?

I'd like to see the diagram from the FSM if you have scanner or whatever, and it is not too much trouble.

Keep in mind this is an '83 FSM. I just today learned that some also have them in the engine compartment... I'm guessing this won't help much.

MaximRecoil

Thanks. I think mine was originally in the engine compartment though.

Here is a picture of my engine compartment. The arrow is pointing at a short section of copper tubing that is joining two sections of hose. Is that where the fuel filter should go? Is that even the right fuel line for the filter to go in?

MaximRecoil

Thanks. I got it installed, along with a makeshift bracket to hold it in place for the time being:

I have a stock bracket you can have if you pay shipping....

MaximRecoil

One for the engine compartment? Yeah, that'd be great. Send me a PM with payment information; and thanks.

ok now if i could get some help i have a 86 pickup 4x4 im starting to kinda give up on finding the dam fuel filter...im pretty sure it has one just cant locate it...?

22RE? if it is its in the pass side fender well, on the block, above the stater, under the intake

86TOYO

hey so if its not there could it be possible my truck doesnt have one and yeah its the
22re version. so fuel injected. anyway cause i just looked there and it was no where to be found...

4banginRunner

You sure?

Circled in red is the fuel filter
This is my old truck that had a 3" BL so to gain access to it w/o a body lift you'll need to take out the panel (circled in yellow) to get to it.
