Where is the fuel filter located?

Where is the fuel filter on a 2006 trd prerunner

 

It's part of the fuel pump assembly located inside the fuel tank.

 

In Tank, all part of the fuel
Pump assembly
Unless something odd happened should not need to change that

 

Thinking some bad gas has affected it.

 

What are your symptoms?
What makes you think it’s bad gas?

 

Last night we had to put some gas in it from a gas can. The gas is not old but after we put the gas in we noticed a crack in the gas can lid. This morning, I made it about a mile and the truck died and won’t restart.

 

Thank you so much!

 

It would have to be a big crack to get enough dirt to clog the filter.
By chance, did the can get left outside and water get in it?

 

Yes

 

Disconnect fuel rail input, put hose into clear glass bottle, turn key to on(not start), fuel pump turns on and fuel goes into bottle, let bottle sit for a few minutes and see if it separates. Most likely guess would be it will separate and you will need to get the water out the gas tank.

 

We will try that tomorrow. I appreciate all of your help.

 

Was the gas can full? How large is said gas can?

 

5 gallon can, about halfway full

 

Ok lets guess you added 3 gallons which is 1/7 tank capacity. Assuming you confirm there is water in your gas tank you may be able to fill the tank with fresh gas and put a large bottle of k100 in the tank, run the truck around the block/heavy idle till you burn up everything in the tank.

 

Ok, well do that too.

 

Fuel pump does not run at key on on Toyota, you have to crank the engine or jump pins 3 and 5 of the C/OPN relay to make the pump run.

 

Ok good to know, appreciate it.
I'd probably jump the relay then.

 

Remove C/OPN and provide power to pin 3 only.
