Fuel Filter

[ChinoCharles]

A piece of advice that someone would give you if I didn't anyway... do not let your Yaris run down to fumes regularly, if at all if you can help it. Doing that will help extend the life of that fuel filter you're worried about. This is why the manual says do not let the car drop below two bars of fuel.

+1......plus adding a gas additive occasionally, like seafoam, will help keep the gunk/tars that may build up in the tank and injectors is a good preventative measure. IMO don't mess with the filter unless it needs it.

Additives may well help, but they will not clean a dirty filter.

I agree it won't clean the filter. But a lot of what normally clogs the filter is usually tars that could be reduced in a preventative measure beforehand.
