- How to install a Direction Plus diesel pre-filter kit into a Toyota Hilux KUN26R 2005-2015.
Super easy install with minimum tools.
If you head out west with jerry cans or fill up at dodgy servos this is a must have.

Big thanks to dieseldistribut... for supplying the kit.
direction-plus....
You need to take the outlet hose off the factory filter and prime the hand pump until you get a clean solid flow of diesel into a jar. That way you no you’ve bled all the air out of both filters.
I change the filters every service, you just pump until it's all but rock hard, it doesn't take long, you don't need to remove the hoses.
Great video thank you for sharing. A necessary accessory just fitted Direction Plus pre filter to my BT50 they are a great bit of kit. 👍🏻
Yeah just a nightmare changing the oil filter lol
Thanks for the video, just about to get my kit for a 2017 Hilux. Hopefully the install goes smoothly.
Just read the instructions because there will be some differences, but it's an easy install!
@@HuntShootOffroad Thanks all installed. By the looks of it the 2015+ is a slightly easier install. ECG connector is longer and you only have to install a new very short pipe for the outlet .
@@timhowlinson9353 awesome mate! Mine actually took 2 services before I had oil in the drain hose, I think I needed the filter to become saturated. I still need to go get my manifold cleaned now.
Hey mate! Awesome video, can you post how you change the filter during a service? I’ve got a dual battery and imagine it will be very difficult
I've got it recorded, just need to upload it
Hi mate.... can you install the filter on the other side of the bracket ..... if I’m not considering a second battery ?
Message me again, and I'll have a look when I get home and let you know!
@@HuntShootOffroad hi.....did you get to have a look....to see if I can install the filter on the other side of the bracket ?
Great video, just wondering what it's like changing the oil filter after you install this kit? Looks tight.
Sorry for the late reply, only thing was I had to buy an oil filter socket because I can't get to it with my hands. How ever installing the dual battery tray did impact it badly.
Great video mate. Super easy to follow.
I found when I installed mine on my 2010 Hilux it won't prime the fuel system. Was pumping the primer for over 5 minutes without it going hard.
Opened the top of the pre filter and poured fuel in there and was able to prime the system that way but it only ran for a minute or so then stopped.
Any idea what I'm missing?
It does look like changing the Oil Filter in the future will be a PITA ?
I had to buy a oil filter socket, as I could no longer loosen it easily by hand, but you can still reach around behind it to remove it.
Hey mate what year is your hilux? I just installed mine on a 2013 hilux and no matter what I do I can’t keep air out of the lines keeps stalling out can’t find any air leaks anywhere my mechanic said some hiluxs just don’t agree with the added pressure of a pre filter what are your thoughts? I’ve just removed it for now til I find a solution
Mine is a 2013. I had the same problem after a mechanic did a service. He hadn't tightened the screw in fittings. Replace the factory house clamps with the new threaded ones.
You just need to make sure there are no leaks in the system. A mechanic told me you can put an air compressor in the fuel filler to find leaks.
Hey Mate, thanks for the video. I have just purchased the same kit as yours to install on a 2012 Hilux. I am just a little concerned like you that the sensor cable is really tight when plugged to the top of the primary fuel filter housing. Do you know of any way to put in some type of extension to give it some more length? Cheers Mate. Again, great job.
I can't say it's caused me an issue. Just make sure you unplug it if your going to change the filter.
Shouldn’t you install hose clamps on the pre-filter side of the 2 hoses?
It's been a long time since I did it, I'm pretty sure the instructions said it wasn't required. They are basically aeroflow pushlock fittings. However after reviewing a aeroflow pushlock fitting video just now they use a hose clamp. So yes you probably should.
Mine have never leaked.
@@HuntShootOffroad I’m installing one today so I’ll see how I go. Thanks for the great video you’ve got some good information and it’s a great help.
@@rustynail4x4 let me know if I missed those hose clamps or the instructions say otherwise
11:47 if the arrows are the same..is it okay that I put the plug on the rear of the engine and the adapters on the front?
t maxx as long as the direction is correct
Awesome install video, very thorough. Got a new subscriber here, thanks.
awesome mate, glad to have helped!
Yeah agree about the jerrys. You always get shit on the funnell.
Yesterday I was literally making a Jerry can video and for dirt on the funnel mid video lol. I was like, this is why you need a good pre filter lol!
Video will be out in a couple of weeks.
great tutorial - can you still install a dual battery tray with it fitted?
100% I have a tray installed in mine with a 2nd battery!
Hunt Shoot Offroad how do you get in to inspect and drain the sediment bowl?
@@Life_of_Gavin you can drain both the factory one and the pre filter with ease. Inspecting... The factory one you can't unless you catch what you drain. The pre filter I just take the whole filter off with the glass bowl attached, then have a look.
Hunt Shoot Offroad Then you’d have to prime the system again though right?. Just cracking a screw and pump etc but still not as easy as just turning the drain cock.
@@Life_of_Gavin the glass bowl also has a tap on the bottom. I just empty mine every service anyway, and yes I pump it afterwards.
Have you had any issues with the fuel pump or anything so far?
Not at all, because it's a bigger filter than the factory 5 micron I don't expect to have any issues either. I'm also replacing the filter every 10,000km.
hi all what are the numbers on filter head for and which holes are for what because other vids are telling different thanks for any
help this is avery good video tutorial
I'm not sure what numbers you are referring to. There are 4 holes, but only 2 directions. There is an arrow indicating the direction of flow for that hole. So depending on your engine layout would depend which holes you need to use.
Why did you install a pre filter if the factory one already has a water separator with warning light indicator when accumulated?
Because water is the biggest killer of diesel injectors. This filter has a far superior water separator. One bad batch of diesel and your injectors can be ruined.
If you are never gong to leave the city you are probably wasting your money. If there is a chance you have to use a dodgy fuel station then it's worth it's weight in gold!
@@HuntShootOffroad I can understand what you're saying mainly only applies to outback servos where diesel has been sitting in their tanks for awhile and all sorts of things can happen algae build up, condensation etc but also a pre doesn't mean it gives your engine immunity. Good diesel is always a must.
I leak mine out every 5k service just to be safe I don't wait for the light to come on and I tell you what no drops of water come out. Fuel in urban area's is of good standard.
Just make sure that pre doesn't restrict diesel flow to the engine otherwise it can do the very thing it was meant to prevent.
@@creeatd yeah 100% the pre-filter is 30 micron, the factory filter is 5 micron, so no issues there.
Some other brand pre-filters are smaller than the factory filter and that's a very bad idea and makes zero sense.
Great video thank you
Thanks champ!
Won't prime, it starts but doesn't keep running
Can this work.in 2009 hilux
Yeah mate it should be the same, just get the right one and double check the instructions, but I don't believe there are any differences from 2005 to 2015
Are these the legitimate stanadyne filter kits?
They are genuine Stanadyne fuel master filters, but the kit is ProVent. I don't believe Stanadyne make vehicle specific kits.
Sorry i know it's an oldie, but that location has to be an absolute pain in the arse to both see it, and replace it...
Haha, yeah it's not the best, but changing the oil is harder lol!
where is the location of filter gas for toyota diesel hilux
The diesel fuel filter? It is the black cylinder that goes back onto the bracket.
Where did u get the bracket from??
It's part of the Direction-Plus.com kit
can I installed on a Fortunner 2007?
Hmmm, not sure we never had the Fortunner in Australia until 2015. If the engine Bay is the same as the Hilux/Vigo then it should be fine. Either way you should be able to get a suitable kit for your vehicle!
Can it be installed on a hiace bus?
There is probably a kit for a Hiace
Was going to ask the same =-O
Great video. Since diesel engine need clean fuel, we believe that pre-filter will save the cost in the long term diesel engine. I also did the same thing by installing Racor fuel-filter as pre-filter for my diesel engine as you can see on th-cam.com/video/KcSRpNKxg3U/w-d-xo.html .
Wasn't in English, but looks like the gear.
@@HuntShootOffroad absolutely, my video is bahasa indonesia. It's racor diesel fuel filter, 30 micron suitable for pre-filter. Most use for heavy duty diesel engine, yacht, etc.
This filter did a great job in separating fuel and water. Also, solid contaminant.
@@OtoSmart with water trap? Water is actually the biggest killer of diesel engines?
@@HuntShootOffroad absolutely. Because my country is the biggest CPO producer in the world,so the govt set the policy for fuel producers to put 20% of biodiesel for every kind of Diesel fuel. Event shell diesel, must containt 20% of biodiesel. Thus, the risk of water contaminant is increasing. That's whay pre filter is becoming more important
Is it possible to get extension harness for the fuel filter as mine is stretched to the max to fit the new fuel filter and maybe it ( The wiring ) will fail whilst the vehicle under heavy going
You could just cut them and splice it longer, I'm not aware of an extension harness
Yeah that’s what I did just cut and extended the wires, lots of length now
@@baileyjohanson9758 Thanks Bailey,
I will do that , no issues joining up the wiring ?
Great Video Mate. Looks like it's near impossible to get to the oil filter now.
Do you have a dual battery? I went and bought a Ryco oil filter socket fitting, that unscrews it easy as. You can reach behind it no problems. After I put my dual battery in different story. I had to trim the dual battery to get my hand past, but it's all good now!
Thank you very much for this detailed video.
No worries champ!
When you fitted this pre filter you said that you changed the factory fuel filter at the same time, I was wondering if there is anything on the factory filter to allow you to drain off any water that might have accumulated? I have seen a few videos of people changing the factory filter but no one seems to try to drain off whatever is remaining in the bowl - Surely if there is any water contamination IN THE Diesel, it will gather in the bowl of the filter and the Diesel will float on top. Just seems that there should be a way to drain the factory bowl dry and clean before fitting a brand new filter.
Super helpful. Great video! Cheers mate
Great to hear champ! Happy 4x4ing
I connected hose from fuel tank to the back connector and front connector to the original fuel filter, what would happen if I leave like that?
It needs to be the right way round for the filter to work correctly. The filter is designed to work one way, might collapse or something.
There are multiple fitting connections on both sides with blank off connections. You can swap them around to suit. But if you are unsure of what you are doing I wouldn't mess with it.
Bob thanks heaps for this. The original manual and instruction are shit. Their video does not cover Hilux so you saved my day. Great video. JD
John Dimitriou hey man so glad I could help! I know the video is long, but really trying to cover every step. Some videos miss the step your looking for. Be great if you could share the vid and subscribe!
hows doing the oil filter now that sucks but worth it for the insurance
Yeah it's not the best but with a oil filter tool you can easily get it.
what are the specs.. what micron filter are the primary n secondary
The pre filter is 30 micron, the factory filter is approx 5 micron.
nice .. well i have the mazda bt50 .. 09 model .. i took out that pump strainer n install a inline fuel filter as secondary with my main filter.. 10micron
this part # IS 90917-11037
Part for what?
Great tutorial...
Steve Annett thanks mate!
Puedo encontrarlo en peru??
I'm sorry I don't understand
Hunt Shoot Offroad he wants to know if is possible to find the part in Peru 🇵🇪 ( South America )
Search for "fuel master" I guess, I don't know. I'm sure there is something similar available. "Fuel master" is the brand of filter. It is a "diesel pre filter" or "diesel secondary filter". Here is a link to one on eBay: rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fp%2F20017005314 maybe eBay will link you to a local version.
Where to buy replacement filters for these ?
Try diesel direct or bursons
