Default Re: Fuel filter. where is it?

Out of curiosity, how much for a new one?

My Rav4's fuel filter was considered lifetime (but only if in the US), was in the fuel tank and was over $100, so needless to say, I didn't replace it as routine maintenance.

See, that could be replaced under periodic maintenance, although I suspect it's large enough where it could be lifetime under normal conditions. It was the little ceramic ones (the size of a thimble) that needed replacing a lot.

I guess you need a different gas station.

Do you fill with 10% ethanol or 0%?

How many miles on the odo?

48K on the odo. we have 10% ethanol. I am a tech. gas tanks get contaminated.

Only 48k... I would have guess a LOT more than that.

If you could prove you consistently filled at one station (to the owner of that station), they might R/R your filter. Maybe they don't do that these days.

Still I'd talk to the place you fill and complain and threaten to go somewhere else.
