Where's my fuel filter 97 4runner
Hi, bought a 1997 4runner recently, 4cyl. I'm new to Toyotas, can't seem to find the fuel filter. I looked under the driverside of the car and under the steering wheel area... nothing. Im guessing it housed in this thing under the manifold? if so, man what a horrible place to put that...

On the V6, it's inside the frame rail, beneath the driver's seat. Probably same place on the 4 cyl.

I think that's your starter...
The above is right for the v6. Not sure about the 4cylinder.

im pretty sure its in the same place, the fuel lines are the same up to the motor, so it would stand to reason that the filter is in the same location. check the inside of the frame rail under the drivers seat. their should be a smallish round canister with a line coming in one side and going out the other, and a bracket holding it to the frame. that is your fuel filter.

Nope, that's your starter, you fuel filter is directly under the intake manifold on the block, black canister, line in each side, worst possible spot.

Yuck. I hate the stock fuel filter location on the 22 motors. I moved mine to the fender first chance I got.

On the V6 it is. On the 4cylinder we just found out it isn't.

On the 4cylinder its on the driver side in between the intake manifold I believe you need a 14mm to loosen the banjo bolts and a 10mm to loosen the bracket

That is definitely the filter, I would disconnect the fuel lines from it before you go any further.
 
or follow the fuel lines until they hit the actual filter.
