Just a quick question (fuel filter) - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I myself do not own a Camry but my sister does. I was just wondering where in the heck is the fuel filter. It needs to be replaced. It is a 95 Camry LE. Any help appreciated. BTW I did search, and came up with 40 or so pages to sift through.

follow the fuel lines, most cars its at the back of the engine bay, and some its underneath the car. Just follow fuel lines, you find it. DO you know what it looks like??

I have the new one ready to put on, I have followed the fuel lines and they seem to stop somewhere midcar? :-?

The fuel filter is close to the charcoal canister and brake fluid reservoir.

I know where it is.....

On the 4 cylinder, you have to take off the air intake box... Its right under it, it looks like its upside down.....

Hi, first post...

I'm planning to change my fuel filter tomorrow and I've read a ton of past posts on this. I've not came across the "right" tools to have to make this job as easy as possible. I've heard lots of post pertaining to how finicky the bottom 14mm nut is to get off and on. Any tips before I tear into it? I usually turn 1 hour jobs into all day deal!

Get a flare wrench, the kind that grabs with more than just 2 sides of the nut. Mine was in really tight and a regular wrench would have stripped the hell out of it. Remove the gas cap to release some line pressure, and remember to have a rag under the filter when you loosen it to catch dripping fuel. I replaced the fuel filter on my v6 without removing the airbox, but having it out would make the job a little smoother. Have a beer ready for when you finally finish, and good luck!

remeber prime the engine once your finished...... not good to start it dry, turn the key in the ignition off to acc 3 times you will hear the pump start going do it once your twice and you good.

Bought one for my 93 camry but after identifying the location of it, I still have it in the box. It is a tight squeeze but if you have the right tools, it might be really easy.
