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 your Toyota dealer. Even if
you decide to drain it yourself, contact your Toyota dealer.
The water in the fuel filter needs to be drained if the fuel system warn-
ing light flashes and buzzer sounds. (→P. 425)
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
Turn the drain plug counter-
1
clockwise about 2 to 2 1/2
turns.
Loosening more than this will
cause water oozing from around
the drain plug.
Operate the priming pump
2
until fuel begins to run out.
After draining, tighten the drain plug by hand.
