HDJ80 Pre-Fuel Filter (1 Viewer)

Gents,

Searched and searched with no clear answer

Anyone done a Pre Fuel filter on the HDJs? 1HZ/1HDT/1HD-FT?

We have terrible fuel stations in remote areas.

I'm about to start on this project and am worried about not suppling enough fuel pressure.

You can always add an electric fuel pump to compensate if you go low on microns ..

I removed the fillter on the fuel inlet pipe in the tank and replaced it with this inline diesel fuel filter.

I installed it in the engine bay at the outlet of the sedimenter where it's easily monitored for fuel condition.

Prefilters are standard on post 95 model 7* series in Australia. Prefilters usually have a much bigger micron rating so the flow is not disrupted.
Also , Toyota diesels suck about 3-4 times as much fuel to the fuel pump than needed, so it would take a fair bit of restriction to starve them of fuel.
Even when my prefilter was totally clogged with rusty water residue , the loss of power was barely noticeable.

The 80 series prefilter assembly part number is 23330-17010 and there is also a bracket for it that hangs off the main filter 23924-17010
Probably save a packet with an after market setup.

Well that sucks!! I wish I knew about it before ordering the fuel manager unit. The one I have is the 100 Series FM.
Going to hook it up after a test drive. of the freshly rebuilt motor.
Thank you for the reply
@boozewz Check this out. You may also want to add a pre filter on your diesels.

The 100 series FM are supposed to be to be ok. Is this replacing your primary filter or in addition to it?

Genuine 70/80/105 series filter housing assemblys can be had quite cheaply via amayama etc
Having two interchangeable genuine filters could be an advantage in a remote area?

I'm adding this to the existing system. Going to be a pre filter for the main filter

You are right. This would have been a smart move as well. But the FM filters are easily available in major cities here. Going to stock a few just in case.
