I was just noticing today, on my recently acquired '89 V6 4runner, that the fuel filter seems to be on the inside of the passenger frame rail under the passenger seating area. I thought, "man this is cool!". Last year I had a hard time wrestling with the filter on my other 4runner which has a 22RE. I bet you could use the V6 parts to mount a filter like that for a four-banger. <BTW> The one on my V6 4unner looks like it hasn't been changed in a long time, if ever. -- Matt


It is in a good spot but a whole lot of the V-6 Toyotas came with the fittings over torqued and the threads are distorted making it impossible to get them loose before rounding off the corners of the fitting. I tried on mine and I could feel it start to strip. I talked to a friend of mine who is the foreman at a dealership on what to do. He told me most of the time you can get the back one loose. So, what they do is to replace the front steel line along with the filter.
