FJ60 Fuel filter question (1 Viewer)

[sw505]

I replaced an old fuel filter that is located by the rear fuel tank with one from Cruiser Corps. (See photo) before was running fine, now vehicle won’t start. There is fuel in the filter (both rear and in filter toward fuel pump) Do I need to use a different fuel filter? Air pocket? Anyone else have this issue? Thanks.

The FJ60 only had one fuel filter - in the engine compartment.
If the fuel pump is working correctly, it can suck air until it gets fuel (It can pump air). So if the pump is good it'll purge the fuel line of air.

Is there fuel in the sight glass in the carb??

Did you install 2 new EFI type clamps along with the new oem toyota genuine parts filter element ?

if not you could be sucking air ........?

I replaced the fuel filter in the engine bay (I think on replacement of the rear one it might have threw some debris into the front one). After that it worked fine!

Check the fuel hoses at the tank. Could be cracked and sucking air or leaking on return.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Hi, If someone put two filters on, that tank maybe rusty. I’d check the back filter often. Mike
