Fuel filter replacement — logbook Toyota Carina 1996
After I washed the injectors and the intake manifold with a complete removal, I decided to change the fuel filters in the tank and under the hood because xs who changed them last! So it turned out that the filter in the tank was still native and I decided to change it, although it was still visible.
From the tools it took: a split wrench 14 by 17, an open-end wrench 14 by 17, a head by 19 and a fum tape, but more on that later, and not a lot of patience!
INITIAL POSITION
WE REMOVE THE PIPE TOGETHER WITH A FILTER FOR BETTER ACCESS AND A HEAD FOR 19 WE TEAR OFF THE TOP BOLT AND CAREFULLY UNLOSE TRYING NOT TO LOSE THE WASERS
BOLT REMOVED
WE TAKE A SPLIT KEY AND A KEY FOR 14 AND TEAR OFF THE BOTTOM TUBE ONLY CAREFULLY THAT THE THREAD IS NOT DAMAGED
FURTHER JUST UNLOCK THE TUBE
AND THERE IS HE! THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT NO ONE HAS CHANGED IT FOR 13 YEARS!
THIS IS WHAT LEAKED OUT OF IT

SAWED LITTLE
NEW FILTER. FIRST I SET IT UP, BUT AS IT WAS NOT VERY VERY HE WENT ON THE THREAD, SCREWED EVERYTHING, STARTED. And then I was waiting for a disappointment from the bottom tube fled gasoline, my attempts were not crowned again, I had to buy a new one,
but I was waiting for an ambush, he was also proceeded! He did not decide with such subteps and began to think what to do, called his korea and THAT SAID THAT YOU CAN TRY TO WIND THE FUM TAPE.

The tape is very thin, about the thickness of a sheet of paper and stretches. It is used in plumbing, where threaded connections, pipes so that they do not flow. Something like this. If a friend hadn’t said to try it, I probably had to take the original.
Also recently changed the fuel under the hood for prevention. Bought the same SCT. Started - flows! Tried tightening it up, still leaking. The washers are generally unclear what size. I had to put back the old filter (changed it 30k km ago). Installed - no leaks. At that time I took the original. Something the SCT was up to. Probably the thread does not fit all the way or something. conclusion — such spare parts need to be taken original.
What is FUM Tape?
they changed it to a friend on a Toyota, it also leaked, then they picked up a copper washer and everything)
Yes, apparently a bad filter has been caught, in the sense of a thread. And yes, even with our gasoline, it is necessary to change it more often.
Good instruction. I installed Sakura (Korean). Nothing leaked, no problems. Washers were included. I tore off the lower filter nut using the scissors method - working simultaneously with two open-end wrenches. Prior to my replacement, the filter had not been changed for 14 years. Black muck poured out of the old filter.
