Fuel filter from dealer wrong size female coupling

Hey Taco people,

I ordered the part for my 2003 Tacoma prerunner 6cyl 2WD 3.4L automatic and the part did not fit. The female ends are a size or 2 too small. Has anyone else ever had this experience? Also, the new filter came with its own bracket with a hole drilled on each side attached to it for some reason.

 

Wix makes the filters for Toyota. Or at least they used to.

Wix fuel filters are sold at auto stores. You can source the right one there.

 

Maybe your fuel lines have been changed .

the wrong part was ordered or picked is the part # correct??

Parts people are clueless at times with anything more then 10 years old.

Some filters come with the bracket it is just a different number.

The bracket bolts to the frame on my 2000 3.4

Out of curiosity, I pm'ed a guy on one of my fb groups who resells genuine Toyota parts and he confirmed Toyota made different filters and thread sizes for my model year
