6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Fuel filter (diesel engine only)
You may drain the fuel filter yourself. However, as the operation is dif-
ficult, we recommend having it drained by any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. Even if you decide to drain it yourself, contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
The water in the fuel filter needs to be drained if the buzzer sounds (if
equipped) and the fuel system warning light flashes. (→P. 451)
Turn the engine switch to the "LOCK" position.
1
Place a small tray under the drain plug or drain hose to catch the
2
water and any fuel that comes out.
Perform the draining as shown in the illustration.
3
1 Turn the drain plug counter-
clockwise about 2 to 2 1/2
turns.
Loosening more than this will
cause water oozing from around
the drain plug.
2 Operate the priming pump
until fuel begins to run out.
After draining, tighten the drain plug by hand.
