There is no set interval for changing the fuel filter on a 2004 Toyota Camry; however, it is common practice to replace the fuel filter every 30,000 miles for preventative maintenance reasons. There is little notice when a fuel filter begins to fail, but when it does it can foul the fuel injectors. A fuel filter failure can also cause a fuel pump failure and a lean mixture causing destructive detonation.
Instructions
1: Loosen the lower flare nut on the bottom side of the fuel filter slowly, to relieve the fuel pressure. Hold the filter square nut with one wrench and remove the fuel line from the filter with another wrench.
2: Remove the upper banjo bolt, using a line wrench. When removing the banjo bolt, remove the upper and lower copper bushings. Remove the filter bracket, using the appropriate socket. Remove the fuel filter.
3: Install the new fuel filter into the filter bracket and tighten the bracket with the appropriate socket. Install the lower flare nut fuel line and tighten securely.
4: Install two new copper gaskets on both sides of the banjo bolt. Insert the bolt and tighten securely.
