Not sure of the exact location, but you definitely need to replace that every once in awhile. A clogged fuel filter can eventually lead to a dead fuel pump, and replacement of the filter is MUCH cheaper than replacing a fuel pump.

Very interesting I visited the dealer yesterday ....and the parts man told me the 2000 camry has a fuel filter but he says it doesn't need to be replaced at all!!!!! Well is that interesting? What should I do? Does any one have fuel filters problems with 2000 camry? Did you change fuel filter yet? My car has 200,000km and I haven't changed the fuel filter yet, I wondering when it might plug up? Comments are welcomed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFBonnett Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Theoretically the filter is good for the life of the car but with about 120K miles on it, I don't think you are overdoing things by replacing it. It should be down on the firewall on the driver's side with a line coming to it from the fuel rail, IIRC. You might want to hit the fittings with some penetrating oil a couple of times in advance then use the correct size line wrench. FWIW YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed mine around 165k as it was getting clogged up, and causing problems occasionally when the RPMs dropped (like at lights, stop signs, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidgits Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 yeah, at 200,000km you really should change the fuel filter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlearner Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 yeah, at 200,000km you really should change the fuel filter! Thanks..Okay guys, I'm going to look at changing out the filter... I'll get back to yous on this topic.. Theoretically the filter is good for the life of the car but with about 120K miles on it, I don't think you are overdoing things by replacing it.

stevelaw Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 It's basically on the other side of the firewall, on the other side of your feet if you were sitting in the driver's seat. You are going to need several wrenches to do the job. Buy the filter ahead of time and take a good look at it. This will give you the answer to at least two of the wrench sizes you will need. This job is not easy, the area you are working in the get the filter out is a cramped area. If you have never purchased a set of crowfoot wrench extensions before, you might want to consider it before doing this job. And put a newspaper down on the ground too--you're going to lose about 6 to 8 ounces of gas, which will be running down your arm to some degree.

stevelaw Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Sure---and like DFBonnett stated, get some good penetrating oil too. Or at least WD 40. THose upper and lower lines are going to be tight. And don't lose the crush washers. Or it will leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fuel filter is located on the drivers side(left side)below the air-box. Remove the air-box to make removal and intallation easy. Its mounted on the shock tower.
