  • Fuel filter guard?

    Can someone explain what the purpose of the metal guard fitted to the fuel filter does.
    If you replace the genuine filter with a Ryco Z699, to fit the guard you have to build up the diameter of the filter with a layer of tape otherwise the guard falls off.

    I believe the metal guard on the bottom of the fuel filter is only there to protect the plastic drain tap and its built-in water sensor!

    I got rid of mine ages ago as was scratching my inner guard pain work!

    Cheers

        Its just a metal sleeve that holds on with 2 x 8mm bolts with a rubber ring around it at the very bottom of the fuel filter. (The one under the bonnet on the diesel models).

        Cheers

          Must be a 150 series thing. Never seen a 120 with it. Any chance of a photo?

            It isn't a 150 thing but a 120 and 150 thing!

            I'm guessing that when your rig was serviced in the past the guy who changed the fuel filter didn't bother to put it back on!

            Here is the part number for the part in question below

            120 series: CASE, FUEL FILTER - 23382-30160 - $5.69

            150 series: COVER, FUEL FILTER - 23931-26010 - $17.44

            I cant give a pic as personally got rid of mine forever ago

            Cheers

              Must have been discarded when the filter was changed at 20 000km. The tap and sensor have lasted 120 000km with 20 000km offroad. Can't be that important!

                What are Ryco Z699 filters worth?

                My last genuine filter set me back $68.

                  Thanks will throw it away once out of warranty and dealer not servicing.
                  Have fitted a Stanadyne Fuel Manager pre filter kit from Diesel Care in QLD supposed to stop 98% water.
                  Local dealer says won't affect warranty as Toyota sell and recomend a similar unit.

                      Ryco filter cost $31 in Perth Toyota here wanted about $80, $110 for the one between the tanks this one they change every service.
                      It seems an overkill to do it that often with clean fuel but the main filter that they leave till the warning light comes on in my opinion should be done more often.
                      Diesel Care suggested 40-60,000 for the tank filter, changing more often if dodgy fuel suspected.
                      The Fuel Manager unit at 20,000 and the main at 40,000. Fuel Manager cartride $35
                      The Fuel Manager kit comes with bracket hose all fittings an sealer delivered to Perth for $301
                      I had to relocate my redarc battery isolator as it was mounted behind the original filter.
                      Whole job took 20 mins
                      Once out of warranty will go back to Terain Tamer filter kits at $50 for complete set, so change all at every service at that price.

                        Is that for the original under bonnet filter?

                          The under bonnet fuel filter part number 23390-30350 for a diesel 150 Prado was $83 incl GST.

                          I replaced it yesterday. Personally I found it easier to take the filter assembly 'wholus bolus' off the braket, with all the fuel hoses still connected. I could then turn it over carefully after disconnecting some electrical plugs and place it in an ice cream container on a rag on top of the adjoining fuse box lid. I could then easily remove the little "guard", and then undo the water sensor, and then drain the filter and remove the filter. I installed the filter followng the instructions on the filter itself, replaced the O ring provided between the filter and the water sensor assembly, repalced the water sensor assembly, attached the lot back onto the braket and then primed the system with the little black prime button on the top of the filter. I also drained some diesel from the drain on the bottom of the filter. There is a connection on the drain plug under the filter to attach a short length of hose/tubing so you can catch (and inspect) the diesel drained from the filter. Ayway, I hope that helps folks somewhat. Don't overtighten the water sensor assembly and the filter itself, and just follow the instructions printed on the filter itself.

                          I re-installed the metal ring filter guard that clamps around the water sensor assembly on the bottom of the filter, because I just was't sure what it did, but next time I'll probably just leave it off I think, because it seems useless anyway, and just makes it hard to get a good grip of the drain plug.

                            There is a couple of different models of the original filter. I shopped around before having mine changed today and the 2009 filter for the 150 is different to the 2010 model. Mine cost me $95 which was what I was quoted at three different dealers.

                              The part number of the filter I got ended in 30180. Wonder what's different on the 150 series filter.
