Where are the fuel filters on a Toyota Series 60?
Locate the fuel filters on the engine. Depending on what model the Series 60 is, there will either be two spin-on fuel filters (primary and secondary) or one spin-on (primary) and one element cartridge (secondary). Place the filter wrench over the primary fuel filter. Turn it counterclockwise until the filter is loose enough to continue by hand.
How do you fix a secondary fuel filter?
Apply lubricant on the rubber seal of the primary fuel filter. Spin the primary fuel filter onto the threads of the fuel filter housing in a clockwise direction until the filter is tight. Use the same steps for the secondary fuel filter. If the secondary fuel filter is an element cartridge, push the element into the filter housing.
