fuel filter - Toyota Yaris Forums

Happy Little Pony · 12-17-2010, 06:49 PM

Most of the gunk in a gas tank is actually rust and corrosion from the tank itself. The Yaris has a plastic gas tank. No metal means no rust. Any fuel you put in should be getting filtered at the pump.

I personally like the idea of having a user changeable gas filter, but I've never actually needed to change one because it was clogged. Toyota obviously feels that the small amount of foreign matter introduced into the tank can be handled by the built in filter for the life of the car. Unless something goes dramatically wrong, they're probably right.
