There is no fuel filter in my 2009 Tacoma?

I am told there is no fuel filter in my 2009 Tacoma. Is this true? Just drive it forever with no fuel issues?

 

Did toyota tell you this? They told me I didn't have to change transmission fluid.

 

The person or persons who told you this are seriously in need of a nut kick... The fuel filter is located in the tank with the pickup/pump. This doesn't need to be serviced for a Loooong time. More often, you will need to replace the pump at the same time of service.

 

No replaceable fuel filter on your Tacoma. Filter/pump is 1 piece in tank.

 

Curious, has anyone in TW installed this kit from URD?

If so I sure would like to hear your thoughts, opinions and reviews on it?

As for the actual fuel filter, well it is located with the fuel pump in the gas tank.
You need to purchase the whole fuel pump in order to replace just the fuel filter. From the dealer, I think the price for the fuel pump is somewhere between $600 - $800 bucks (or maybe a bit higher?) also that's not including taxes and charge for installation, well over $1000 bucks!

Just another way for the big motor companies to make money to force you to buy only from them at their outrageous prices. Yes, there are some online that are cheaper but will it actually be compatiable and work like OEM part?

EDIT: Here is more info about Toyota's Tacoma fuel pump and fuel filter placement in the gas tank, for your reading enjoyment of course!
