[asphalt victory]

i got 120k out of my celica when it went on the highway im pushing 130k on my camry here and im doing alot of ....NH to RI driveing and i would rather change it out now than at 9am in a dunkin doughnuts parking lot


i am a firm believer in the life expectancy of engine parts (running fleet vehicles)

Have you ever replaced the fuel filter? You can monitor the current draw at the relay (easier that way).

A plugged fuel filter can increase the load and current draw. Stressing the pump to death.

toyota states that you should not have to replace the filter unless you know somthing got into the gas...total crock of shit in my opinion

no i havent yet i kinda wana use a marine raycor type spin on water separator filter instead of that stamped steel nightmare
it was changed a while ago i can tell because the bracket bolts were sitting on top of the trans...maby 2000/2004 idk

Still original at 126k

IIRC our fuel pumps are cooled by the gas in the tank, so they will last longer if you never let the tank go empty. I personally fill up once I hit 1/4 tank.

i heard that too, but i always wait until 20 miles past when my fuel light turns on.

Still on the original fuel pump on both my Cam and the Avy. 291k and 221k miles on them, respectively.
