When do you change your fuel filter

[packeteer]

fyi, 2011 manual says every 40k

I'm doing mine every service ie. 10k

[Merkin]

Just had mine in for its 100,000km service and got them to do the fuel filter at the same time. To the best of my knowledge it's the original filter (I'm the vehicles second owner), I opened it up and have the pics below- pretty dirty. From now on ill be changing the fuel filter every 10,000km.

[curtis00]

Change mine every 10,000km and run a tank cleaner in it at least every 5000kms

[SRD4D]

Change mine every 10,000km and run a tank cleaner in it at least every 5000kms

yep every second oil change for me so every 10,000ks.

what tank cleaner do you use???

[curtis00]

I use a wynns cleaner.. We used to use it on Audi's with common rail and it worked perfectly, there was never any gunk in there tanks, and it did no damage to there fuel system so I figured running it in mine wouldn't be any problem.

[bluehilux]

Every 10k, along with the air and oil filter.

I get all 3 for 100 bucks trade, and have no qualms about spending that compared to the 8k I spent getting the common rail fuel system replaced.

i dont beleive in every 100k
i change mine every service for the sake of 15 dollars......I change every filter and oil

[bluehilux]

There is no saving in skimping on filters/maintenance.

You might get away with it but if you don't...it will cost much much more.

[blinkaha]

I change mine every second service so 10,000, oil at 5000, its cheap like previously stated and the state of the countries diesel its well worth it mines black even at 5000.

Can anyone tell me how to reset the fuel warning light on a 2005 Turbo diesel?
The light came on when we were out shooting on the weekend, we replaced the filter but don't know how to reset the light.

Thanks

The fuel warning light will reset itself (if you mean the flashing one?).. when the problem is fixed.. if its still flashing its because the float in the canister is jammed up, still full of water, or the wiring is damaged.

personally, every 10k i change my two fuel filters..

i have a 2007 d4d 165 000 and just did a servise on it and the fuel filter was black and a fair bit of sludge in the bottom of the filter tube

After Requesting that my fuel filter be replaced at the 60,000km service today, they didn't do it! Said they inspected the filter and its ok! How they inspected it without taking it off or disconnecting any fuel lines I'm waiting to hear.

Also managed to drop some leaves into the aircon fan when changing the pollen filter, apparently checked it ( not likely) and decided that the racket it was making was Ok! Needless to say pissed off!

Now need to take it back next week and get them to sort it out.

.

Hence why DIY services are much better atleast you know whata going on.

[NimrodAUS]

Change both every 10,000km

[dervdave]

Its reckoned Toyota don`t recommend changing the filter at every service because of the possible damage done to the fuel system by dirt contamination from disturbing the filter, so unless the light comes on indicating it needs changing leave it alone.

Replaced mine every 10,000 the orange fuel warning light came on so i change it but the light is still on constant?? Any idea of how to reset it?
