So, after fighting with these stupid open ended tuner lug nuts (which I am looking for a replacement for...)

I get under there and look and I find this...



I inspect around the forward side and find what really irks me...



So, now that I've found this kinked hard fuel line, any suggestions on what I could do to remedy this?

replace the hard line w/ a new hardline or run a new stainless steel line from the filter forward.

anyone done this and have an approximate cost? I'm lookin at sewell's online parts catalog, but not seeing anything in the exploded parts diagram.

Tuner nuts, not good, changing the fuel filter on an SC or Supra, worse.

go to your local auto parts store, they sell brake/fuel line, measure you sock one, or better yet, take it to the store. find the guy with the most EXP and he'll help you. remember METRIC, oh, get a line bender too, maybe the whole thing will cost you 30 bucks and time.

Redid a fuel line on a Camry once, it was fairly simple. Take speed6's advice and you'll be fine.

Durrr

word, thanks for the advice

oh if you got the money run a steel braided fuel line from the pump to a new filter to the fuel rail

Is 14mm the correct size for the flare wrench?

Yes, I believe its a 14mm, use either a 17mm or a 19mm on the filter to counter the fitting when trying to break it loose, and even tightening it.

before trying to break it loose, be sure to spray some PB blaster on both fittings, let it sit, and do it again, let it sit...no more than 5 mins, once the lines are off, clean the fittings before re-installing them into the new filter.

and dont overtighten it when re-installing, overtightening it will cause the line to flare at the end, so when you go to remove it later it'll most likely destroy the threads when coming out, if you can get it out.

I had one that was so rusted on... I cut the steel line, flared the end with a large screw driver and put on a fuel line.... In the process I burn off skin with the gas that kept coming out.

I want to do full SS braided lines one day though.










Yum...

Just pull the EFI fuse that is in the fuse box under the hood. No real need to pull any fuses or anything to replace the fuel filter, just dont turn the key on while working on it.

Opening the gas cap will also release the pressure in the tank, keeping alot of fuel from purging out of the line.

Once it is replaced, and everything is secure, try starting it before putting your wheel back on.

itll take a bit of cranking to get it started, dont worry, its just air pockets in the fuel lines... once its started check the filter to make sure there are no leaks.
