[DIY] Change a fuel filter

[vr2turbo]

Hey guys,
What about the fuel filter underneath the seat for the Vios dugong ?

Anyone has experience doing that maybe can share ?

Fuel filter also need to change, probably 30 to 40k km. Can check also, remove the filter shake and pour out the fuel onto a white piece of paper. If plenty of dirt comes out, please change......lol

The filter is called a fuel strainer also right ?
It's not that difficult to change right ?
Sorry bro many questions cause I saw a video on the Subaru fuel filter oh my goodness, this guy disassemble the fuel pump to fuel filter damn long son.
And also
Wanna clarify the previous vios before dugong same fuel pump assembly withvios dugong ?

Lol 40k km. Gone lar my Vios,
The manual say 80kkm change filter.
I need to learn this asap so I can change it. Putting back the fuel pump and filter assembly don't need to use the gasket sealant right ?

You know where to buy fuel filter for the Vios ncp93 ?
I tried asking from a spare part shop, they sell the whole pump and assembly my, don't sell separately

If filter together with pump, then sorry case, very expensive to change. So far for my fuel injected cars one located at undercarriage between driver and rear passenger seat. My other car filter is in engine compartment.
My VR, I have seen mechanic take out fuel pump before, it has an additional strainer before going in to the pump and actual filter is in engine compartment before going to the injectors.
I changed mine once at 40k km and was pretty dirty already. I shake and pour out on white piece of paper, plenty dirt came out.....lol
Whether can last 80k km depends how clean the fuel you pump into your tank. Usually if can see the truck delver fuel to the station, I won't pump because when when they pump into their underground tank, may churn the dirt up from the tank floor.....lol

Wah, your VR got two fuel filter lol, double the protection.

Crap, the spare part shop seller at new era industries in old Klang road say they dont sell the fuel strainer only, he say sell pump and strainer together. That one quite expensive, I'm trying to find for the strainer only so I can protect the pump and injectors etc.

The strainer is an open filter. Quite coarse looking plastic netting. I think more to block big particles jamming the pump. The fine ones that passes through gets filtered but the filter in the engine compartment.....

I believe all in-tank fuel pump has a filter at the pump itself but this one will only filter out coarse particle.
The additional filter will strain smaller particle.This filter is normally outside the tank which is very easy to replace,just remove and replace.be very careful not to damaged the hose plastic lock thing.
Being showered with petrol can be very refreshing if u dont position yourself out of the way when removing the hose.

Some car is using in tank filter like the Kenari. On the Kenari is even worse, as mechanic said need to drop the tank.

Yah! Mitsu ones are secure with bolt, something like this....

I followed the fuel rail from my engine compartment all the way to the tank but I couldn't find the fuel filter :( although my owners manual says change fuel filter (including in tank). I'm assuming there is two that's why it's stated in the manual but so far I looked here and there in engine bay don't have.

 

[Kevinho]

Oh yea, I checked with a auto spare parts shop in Taman paramount near Al ehsan mamak. That guy say the fuel filter for NCP93 costs around 200 bucks. *Gasp*

If out of tank, Usually either in engine compartment or under the car.....

Try buy off spare parts shop and DIY change it. Usually a lot cheaper

any round cylinder black metal thing bolted at the firewall in the engine compartment?
Backtrace the fuel hose from the fuel rail to search for the filter in the engine compartment.

From my experience, OEM Toyota / Honda / Nissan parts are very pricy. U can get replacement from reputable brand such as Autonas for less.

Outside of the tank filter are usually cheaper. In the tank filter some comes with the pump....

Thanks guys, appreciate it, I'm gonna search around some more. Gonna check out autonas as well

I've checked the firewall that side started tracing from the fuel rail alll the way to the underbody then to the fuel tank.
Don't have anything that is cylindrical shape or fuel filter like how I've seen online.

I think dugong only have intank fuel filter..

Harder to change and probably more expensive too.......

 

[Kevinho]

I'm gonna put some hopefully useful information over here for intank fuel filter replacement just in case some one like me trying to search up on DIY stuff.


There's a clip underneath the sit that can be taken out but have to be careful not to brake it
