Gonna replace the fuel filter as part of another job viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11291 (starting a new thread so the subject will be searchable for others)
Did this before and it was pretty messy so figure I need to depressurize the system first. (Searched the FSM and damned if I can find anything on the fuel filter.)
Any tips on the best way to do this? Thanks!

Re: FUEL FILTER Replacement
Nothing fancy. I've just taken off both hoses, and put them on the new filter.
Use a Corolla filter from the mid 80's that uses the 4AC. Bigger filter but you need to swap the in and out.

Re: FUEL FILTER Replacement
Would you mind posting the preferred 4AC fuel filter model number & brand?

Re: FUEL FILTER Replacement
Go to rock auto
1986 corolla
1.6L L4 SOHC
Then you want the fuel filter that looks like ours like the
PUROLATOR Part # F20265
Then you just reverse the in and out hoses
Brand is not so important. But wix makes a clear one that is nice

Re: FUEL FILTER Replacement
Why reverse the in and out?

Re: FUEL FILTER Replacement
Because the Corolla filter is reversed.

T4WD augury?
