Fuel filter replacement

I have a 04 DC V6, I know where the fuel filter is, but where do you disconnect the wire to feed the fuel to the motor. In my past car it was under the passenger seat. Any info will be appreciated.

 

what chris said.................................but when i do mine.........i dont ever de-pressurize mine................just undo the lines where they are "clamped" onto the frame, then undo the nuts............then pull. there isnt alot of gas that comes out, but de-pressurizing may be a good idea.

 

definitely a good idea for you then brotha!!

i usually smoke after i have the filter changed....................but i wash my hands since i have gas all over them. made that mistake before with hairspray!

 

Thanks for all the info guys but chris4x4 you must have missed the myth buster show when they busted the myth about a cigarette or cigar lighting fuel

 

i must have missed that one too.................but i dont wanna try............my luck=shit would blow up/burn down!!

 

After you pull the EFI fuse does it throw any codes up for disconnecting the fuse?

 

nope..Just dosent start. I do it all the time at work when i change fuel filters. Just dont forget to put it back in when your done.

I usually cycle the key a few times to get the fuel pump to get fuel into the lines again.

 

when i replaced my fuel filter on my 02 4runner i just undid the gas cap before i started. it worked fine.

 

i think if you read the Chiltons, they recommend doing both.

 

That's great info! especially cuz I'm new to the Tacoma world.

 

well..guess its on my to-do list. Dang, i spent all my money on driving lights and beer. lol

 

Correct me if I'm wrong... the EFI fuse controls the injectors... I didn't think it also controled the fuel pump?... I thought if you pulled that fuse, the injectors would not cycle the fuel pump would run and you'd reach the max operating presure of the FPR...

I've always been told to disconnect the pump, start engine and let die to release the presure.

Can somebody let me know I'm wrong or right?

 

Anyone?

Just seems even if it disconnected the power to the pump and the injectors then cranking it like that would do nothing to relieve the presure.

 

I'm not saying your wrong.. but any idea how?

this has been on my mind all night.

 

Just a quick question guys, I've got 66,000 on my '03 Dbl Cab, should I change mine, i'ts never been done..... How often should you change them?

 

I change mine every other year. Twice in a leap year
