Where's the gas filter on '94, 2wd, short bed PU, 22RE??

On my 93 22RE it's under the intake manifold, bolted to the side of the engine block. A real pain in the ass to change!

and above the starter. If someone gave a less than $50 quote to replace the damn thing I'd take them up on it. I suppose it might be easier the next time, tho' I hope to not do it again.

I once read a post in this newsgroup that the reason Toyota put them there is to keep people from replacing them. Supposedly, there is so much filter surface in the ones supplied for fuel-injected engines (as opposed to the old filters on carburated 22R's) that they don't ever need to be replaced and people are just wasting their money by replacing them at some regular interval.

Why not Google it-- it was an interesting post from someone supposedly in the know.

Cheap insurance to replace at 75k or so miles - cost like $25. Never know what's in the gas ya buy. Yup pain to get to --- did mine when I had trans out to replace the clutch - tad easier. Make sure you have metric flare wrench so you don't round off the fuel line connectors.

It's on the side behind the little door.

There are larger doors -- also on the sides -- that you use to get in and out. Wait a bit, and I'll come over and show you how they work.

Never mind. My bad, I read, "where's the fuel FILLER ...?"

Oops.
