I had a FM100 on my 79 series was easy to install and well put together.
Each to there own as we progress with CRD only fuel quality will lift it already has over the last 5 years
If you are doing a lot of remote fuel stops it's definetly a must if your mainly sticking with mainstream servos.....

Spoke to the Toyota service manager today, and confirmed the installation of additional fuel filter ( Pre or After factory ) will not be any warranty issues, as long as the extra fuel filter is within spec, flow rate, proper installation. I also sent him the link and info of what filter i'm planning to install. He recommend install the fuel filter pre factory fuel filter, because the flow/pressure sensor will flash warning light if the flow rate is not adequate or block filter.
When i checked up my factory fuel filter last night, i discovered there extra two fuel hoses on top inflow and outflow hoses in comparison with 3.0 model. Image below:

(1) Does anyone know what these 2 hoses for?
(2) Is the installation procedure same as 3.0?
(3) Can some one link the image of your 2.8 extra fuel filter set up?

Hi. The extra 2 hoses on the 2.8 are for the DPF - just follow the output to the the DPF. I used the Western Filters pre filter kit - https://www.westernfilters.net.au/fu...separator-kit/.
