Toyota Genuine Parts 23300-62010 Fuel Filter

Was a little worried about buying parts off Amazon. This part was as described, "easy" but messy to install because the siphon effect causes the fuel line coming from the tank to leak the whole time. Just work quickly if possible. It took a little while to get the front connection not to leak, I had to back it off and try it a few times. I think this is due to the flare connection on my fuel line being slightly out of shape. I had to tighten it down as far as I possibly could and after a few tries, no leaks. Part seems to work as it should.

works perfect. fits perfect. 2001 Tacoma 3.4L

Fits perfectly in a 2002 Toyota Tacoma 3.4L V6, took about 20 mins to replace, simple job for anyone to do with basis mechanical skills. I recommend using a 3/8" drive ratchet with 10" extension and a 10mm socket to remove the old filter housing bracket nuts (2 nuts holding in place). Keep nuts and set aside for use later as this new filter does not come with new nuts. Then using a 9/16" and 3/4" open end wrenches to remove the old filter. Have some metal can (I used a soup can) to catch the small amount of fuel that will come out of the lines when loosening. Remove completely and dispose of. Replace by first lightly screwing in the 2 mounting bracket nuts, but don't make tight yet only hold in place with a few threads so you can move the filter to line up with the fuel lines. Attach the "In" and "Out" fuel lines, making sure you're doing it correctly with the flow of fuel, and tighten using the open end wrenches again. Then tighten the mounting bracket nuts. Job done, pat yourself on the back because you just saved $100 doing it yourself than having the mechanic do it.

This is a bit tedious to install, but with the pre-installed bracket and the OEM size and shape, it will fit perfectly. Made a big difference in performance and a slight improvement in fuel economy, so the old one was obviously in need of replacement. Using flair wrenches (as mentioned in other reviews) is very helpful in safely removing the brass tubing nuts. You don't want to round them off!

Filters on Toyota trucks are not easy. Had to do a lot of soaking with penetrant and fitting splitting with offset nut splitter (Amazon tool) . Once off install is easy.
