Newbie to the FJ40 world and this group. I have next to no mechanical skills, but excited to learn. All being all that, I do feel quite sheepish posting, but I have no idea what is going on in this pic of my recently purchased 2/79 FJ40. My research (on this site and the interwebs) has not been able to replicate what is shown... ~ two inline fuel filters (?) attached to the frame centered under the passenger door. The bolted piece is obviously leaking albeit at a slow, but steady rate.
Questions:
Is this a stock setup of some sort?
If, indeed, the bolted piece is a fuel filter, why two and at those locations?
If it is not a fuel filter, what is it?
What is the best course of action to remedy the leak?
Lastly, is the location of the plastic filter a bad idea? It seems like a very precarious place to live especially with zip ties.
Cheers to all who endure this post. Appreciate you!
