This fuel pump/filter upgrade kit is for the 2005-2015 Tacoma 4.0L V6.
The heart of the fuel system is the fuel pump. It must deliver the volume of fuel needed at the required pressure for the rest of the fuel system to do its job. If the pump can’ provide more flow, don’ expect to have the fuel needed for more power.
UNDERDOG RACING DEVELOPMENT has been making and tuning forced induction systems for the Toyota 4.0L 1GR-FE engine since 2005. One thing we observe time and time again is as the power levels go up, the fuel pressure starts to drop off. The stock in-tank fuel pump combo does not flow enough fuel to maintain a sufficient pressure in the fuel rail.
The small in-tank fuel filter appears to become clogged in less than 30,000 miles restricting fuel flow resulting in insufficient flow/volume reaching the fuel rail. This can lead to a dangerous, lean fuel mixture. Until now, the only fix for this was to buy an entire new “tank unit” from your local Toyota dealer. The fuel filter is not available separately and is only available as a complete tank unit that includes the plastic in tank assembly with the fuel filter, fuel pump, and level float. This retails for around $575.
URD has developed a way to replace the in tank fuel pump with a high flow Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump and convert the small in-tank fuel filter with a large capacity external tank fuel filter that is easily replaced if needed. The new fuel filter can be replaced in minutes without having to go back into the fuel tank.
The URD 2005+ Tacoma Fuel Pump/Filter Upgrade Kit fixes both problems, insufficient flow from the stock pump, and the problem of the stock fuel filter’ short service life before it becomes clogged and restrictive.
If you have converted your 2005+ Tacoma engine to any type of forced induction system, URD strongly recommends installing the URD fuel pump/filter upgrade kit.
The URD fuel pump upgrade kit ships with:
- Detailed URD installation instructions
- High flow Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump and appropriate accessories or the pump of your choice
- External high capacity fuel filter QUICK CHANGE
- Special in tank high pressure fuel submersible hose that is fully multi-fuel compatible that is specified to be immersed in fuel (SAE J30R10 100 PSI). Standard fuel line SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN THE FUEL TANK!!!
- External high pressure fuel line that is CARB approved (CARB Q-09-019A Multi and Bio Fuel compatible 225 PSI)
- All needed hardware
URD gives you the option of what fuel pump you wish to run in your pump/filter conversion kit. The default pump the kit ships with is the Walbro 255 LPH High Pressure fuel pump. We also have other pumps available. You may pick from the AEM 320 LPH pump, AEM 320 E85 Pump, DeatschWerks 255 or 320 LPH pump, or the AeroMotive 340 LPH pump. If you wish to run E85 the DeatschWerks pumps are fully E85 compatible. The AEM and the AeroMotive pumps can be used with E85, but the manufacturer states that you should expect reduced pump life with the E85 fuel. The standard Walbro pump is not E85 compatible. For more info on the specific pump choices click on the pump name.

170 bux is worth knowing you will never have fuel starvation issues. excellent instructions that are easy to read and understand, i would recommend this to anybody even if you had no other mods
michael bonestell –
yet again another great upgrade available through urd. easy to understand instructions,an external fuel filter, better fuel volume and for the money A++++++++ I have many upgrades and vehicle use to cut out a little at times when in the higher rpm’s. NOT ANYMORE!!!!!!

Great write up. Easy to understand instructions, even for a novice tuner. Really helps having an easily accessible fuel filter, and can really feel an increase in power. Especially in the higher rpms!
