I need HELP!!! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Took out my fuel filter and the threads were all screwed up on the fitting so I cut the line and took the fitting off. Well, I've gone all over town to try to find a match for the fitting and I can not get one.
It is 14mm x 1.5 thread... but I can't find one.. I've searched the web too.

I need lots of help. Thanks,

Greg

Any auto junk yards around? Find a junker and cut the end off a fuel line. Do the same on your car and use a section of HIGH pressure fuel hose to link the old and new fuel lines.

Well, does anybody know for sure what size the line is that goes into the filter?

btw: 91, 3SFE, SV21

I believe the the flared fitting which goes to the bottom of the filter is the same on second and third generation Camry; if the line is cut less then an inch from the end you may be able to 'bend' the tube close, put new fitting on and double flare the end..
We have had similar poblem before with 88 camry [back in 1996 while I was working in the shop], our mechanic was able to just cut the flared end off [1/4 inches from the end] and re- flarred the tube after slipping the new fitting on.
