I'm pretty sure they're decently priced too.

Thank you Fronty for answering me. I appreciate it. It is not that I do not trust the stock filter. I just wonder how a filter could never need changing. I am sure it is a fine filter. I trust Toyota. But I am just trying to see if it really truly never needs replacing, or if that is an economy move on Toyta's part. Thank you for calmly just answering my question. I appreciate it.

If the stock filter in the tank gets clogged then the inline filter would be moot. You would still have to access it. The Yaris ECU is very tempermental with the injection and pressurized fuel system..... adding a filter may not achieve any results except cost you money. Kind of re-inventing the wheel for a filter that should be changed at 100K miles. If you do it before the powertrain warranty is up and something goes wrong..... Toyota can turn down the coverage on the warranty.

And, even if I disagree with you, that does not mean I have to leave America. The constitution gives citizens the right to protest and disagree. They are not forced to leave if they disagree with someone.

I no longer change my own oil. I go to the Toyota dealer who does the oil change, tops off all fluids, lubricates all the hinges and locks, checks the air pressure, washes and vacuums my car for under $30. I am a former manager at the dealership and I care about all those people. Now do the math of what oil and filter cost, labor time and a complete car wash. My oil changes are done by a factory trained tech who know what to look for. He was trained in a formal school, has ongoing classes, has access to the latest tools and toyota TIS.

Now if you do not like me acting as an American ....... leave. I did not say the USA but since you suggested that...... your close to mexico and you do speak spanish right?

Dear Bob Sir: I am happy that you are happy with Toyota doing your service. I commend you for supporting them. I myself buy my parts from them, and have paid them lots of money for certain services, including buying the car from them. So I certainly support my local economy. I am just saying that, just because I may choose to do something DIY does not mean I hate my fellow man and am unamerican. It just means that I am interested in cars, and like to learn things.

Come on...he doesn't need to go to Lincoln Tech to know how to change the oil. They train kids to do it....and do it wrong!

Phaeton · 02-23-2009, 09:07 AM

He said the fuel filter in located in the gas tank. You can't change it by yourself.
I wasn't trying to be mean, just pointing out certain similarities you should avoid.

No it's just not recommended for idiot's like yourself

SeaYa · 02-24-2009, 09:40 AM

Maybe we need some lists in a 'DDIY' forum....DON'T Do It Yourself

Some intro topics could be: Replacing your steering column, Playing PS3 games on your ECU, and Insulating your radiator

Oh I get it! You have the Liftback!

The Sedan only does that if you isolate the reverse power flux coupling.

The whole point of a discussion thread is to discuss issues, general issues and ask questions. Its not all about worshipping a car. I felt sorry for the guy who asked a simple question about the fuel filter and was met with such hostility. Geez guys... c'mon. Anyway I think i've read enough and i dont think i'll be back. After all i drive an ancient 2001 model and i don't think i'll be worthy on this forum.
