Dual Fuel Filter for FJ40 (1 Viewer)

[FES74]

I plan to install a 2nd Fuel Filter in my 1974 FJ40 to make sure no dirt, rust or any contaminant element from my rusted tank reach the carburator. Would you guys recommend me pushing thru with this plan? Will it not add more work to the Fuel Pump? Would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you in advance.

Why not go to the source and either clean and coat the inside of the tank or replace it?

When I was guiding in Mexico and occasionally refueling from 50-gallon drums in remote villages, I installed a Racor filter/water separator in my 40. It's worked like a charm ever since, and I think is a better alternative to a double filter system.

Thank you @Jonathan Hanson . I'll try to check that out in the web and find out if that's possible.

Thanks @Living in the Past . I already cleaned the tank but it is really not possible to remove all the rust in there. The plan to install another filter is to make sure the fuel system is 100% full proof from all types of dirts.

If you clean the tank with a gas tank sealing system and do it correctly, it removes the majority of the rust. Then you seal the inside of the tank which eliminates the ability of any remaining rust from entering the fuel system. Using an oem filter, like the replaceable cartridge style is your best option, once the fuel passes through the first element, it will be clean. Passing through a secondary element/filter will not make the fuel any cleaner as the second element will be identical to the first and will pass the same size particles as the first. So redundant overkill.
If you are really worried about the existing tank rust, then get a new tank. They are available from toyota.

Thanks a lot @SlapSmak . Truly appreciate this. Very sound input. Will try to research more about Gas Tank Sealing System.

Thanks @ToyotaMatt. Appreciate your input.

My truck sat for several years and upon start up immediately filled up a filter with rust particles. I went the two filter route figuring after a few filter swap outs it would clear up and I've had no problems since. Here's a picture of mine.

where i like the very KLEAR look of the aftermarket made in CHINA filters , ...

OEM made in japan Toyota genuine parts filter media is thge BEST option on the planet



if anyone can PROVE differently based on SOLID tech , please chime is ?

also , the CLEAR plastic on the china filters is NOT UV rated in any way shape or form

it is many times THINNER in thickness too


i have seen these , i indeed love clear plastics idea , honest

but .......

the Science and Teq JIS FACTS do not lie


like i mention


PROVE the TOYOTA filter 2dnd rate in any way shape or form ?

i cannot be done ............

if it can ?

i will be very surprised and not aware of such a science topic anywhere gloabbly


KYOSAN is #1 globally BOTTOM LINE ...



FACT ;

- KYOSAN / DENKI has been the ONLY toyota OEM Carburetor fuel filters and oem Mechanical fuel pumps OEM parts maker jaapn , sourced parts 100% solid since prior to WWII in the 1930's to PRESENT day 2021

- from FJ25 Siamese F day one 1953 till FJ62 NON USA 3F carbureted 1991 and beyond ........


- there IS a reason for that time line and toyota uses them exclusively 100% in the tech topics above


-this is a concrete fact i will back up with verifiable facts and links here if anyone has a Shadow of any doubts


so ,

all that 411


- what fuel filter do u want keeping things real under the hood of your VINTAGE TOYOTA Vehical Platform no matter the Model year car or truck or land cruiser ?


- ponder this and then your thoughts please .........


i only know all this because i was taught formally at 4 years of T-TEN Program all the Engineering tech spec data etc ......


its a no brainer when something simply NEVER fails after almost a CENTERY / 100 years of use ..........

[JMZ400]

FWIW I was only using these until they stopped filling up, hence saving my oem

your tech is sound 100%

i only suggest using 2 oem ones instead of one ,



i have seen the clear ones melt , leak and fail over a long term use stand alone , i should have made mention of this also above so here it is ...too



i tried one once because of the clear see all benefit

it quickly clouded up and got foggy from the inside and NOT from moisture ?

i cant explain that particular cause except it was a .99 cent track autos made in chine Purolator total clear one similar to above ?

i cut it apart it was NOT any moisture what so ever , it was the clear plastics it self changing physically from the inside in short term use maybe from UV rays but not sure ?


, again unknown reason why ?

does anyone know why this could of took place ?


using reg gas NO additives of any kind to be clear ?


thanks
