Diesel engine fuel filter [Toyota Carina T170]

The fuel filter is replaced in accordance with the instructions in the operating manual and must be replaced if the filter warning light comes on, indicating that there is water in the filter.

• Disconnect the connector from the filter switch and unscrew the switch using a pipe wrench as shown in Figure 320.

• Unscrew the filter with a filter wrench, as you would do when unscrewing an oil filter. Unscrew the filter completely and remove the sealing ring.
• Place a new sealing ring into the filter groove and rub some diesel fuel into it.
• Screw the filter onto the filter base until you feel a noticeable resistance. From this position, tighten the filter another 3/4 turn, either by hand or with a filter wrench.
• Screw on the filter switch with a new gasket, tightening only by hand, not with a wrench. Connect the connector.
• Pump the handle of the hand pump from the top side of the filter until you feel a noticeable resistance. This is a sign that the filter is completely full.
