• Toyota Prado 150 Series – 1KD-FTV 3.0L Turbo Diesel | 2009–2015
• Toyota Prado 150 Series – 1GD-FTV 2.8L Turbo Diesel | 2015–2024

✔ Fits all Prado 150 variants (GX, GXL, VX, Kakadu, Altitude)

✔ Compatible with both manual and automatic transmissions

Both the 1KD-FTV and 1GD-FTV engines use high-pressure common-rail fuel injection systems with extremely tight tolerances. Water and particle contamination cause:

• Corrosion: Water destroys injector nozzles and fuel pump components
• Abrasion: Particles score precision-machined surfaces
• Injector failure: Contaminated fuel causes rough idle, power loss, and eventual failure
• Expensive repairs: Injector replacement costs $6,000–$10,000 for a full set

The PreLine-Plus intercepts contamination before it reaches your fuel system:

1. First Stage: MANN+HUMMEL media separates 100% of free water (droplets 150–300 micron)
2. Second Stage: Removes 98% of particles down to 30 micron
3. Alert Stage: Integrated sensor triggers in-cab warning when water detected
4. Protection: Clean, dry fuel reaches your factory filter and injectors

Result? Your expensive common-rail components stay clean, your factory filter lasts longer, and you're warned immediately if bad fuel enters your system.

Important Before Starting:

• Ensure engine bay is clean and free from contaminants
• Note: Filter head has direction arrows indicating flow direction
• Read full instructions before commencing work

Tools Required:

• Socket set and spanners (10mm, M6 sizes)
• Wire cutters/strippers (for alarm wiring)
• Diesel fuel or WD-40 (for lubricating fittings)
• Cable ties (supplied in kit)
• Hose clamps tool

Installation Location: Mounts directly to factory fuel filter location (sandwiched between factory filter and mounting bracket)

Key Installation Steps:

1. Disconnect factory fuel filter inlet hose from both ends (retain for future use)
2. Remove two retaining nuts from top of factory filter housing
3. Install PreLine mounting bracket between factory filter and factory mounting bracket
4. Secure lower bracket to inner guard using M6x25 bolt, washers, and nut
5. Fit M16 90° swivel fittings to filter head (facing towards engine) with M16 washers
6. Mount PL150DP assembly to backside of bracket using 10mm bolts, washers, and nuts
7. Measure and cut 10mm fuel hose from tank hard line to PreLine inlet
8. Lubricate push-lock fittings and hose with diesel fuel or WD-40
9. Assemble inlet hose with push-lock fitting and connect to PreLine inlet and tank hard line
10. Secure with supplied 10mm hose clamp
11. Repeat process for outlet hose (PreLine outlet to factory filter inlet)
12. Secure all loose hoses with cable ties to prevent rubbing
13. Bleed fuel system using hand primer on factory filter until firm
14. Start vehicle and check all connections for leaks while running
15. Install water alarm following supplementary instructions

Professional Install: Most diesel workshops charge $150–$280 for fitment (1–1.5 hours labour).

Important Note: Does NOT void Toyota warranty when installed correctly (complies with Australian Consumer Law).

Real-world context: The 1KD-FTV and 1GD-FTV engines are known to be sensitive to fuel quality. Common-rail injector failures typically occur between 80,000–150,000 km when exposed to contaminated fuel. Prevention costs a fraction of repair costs.

Water Draining: Check and drain element every 5,000–10,000 km (as needed based on fuel quality)

Filter Replacement: Replace PL150DP element every 40,000 km or as per your vehicle's service schedule

Replacement Filter Element: PL150DP (approximately $65–$85)

How to Drain Water:

• When in-cab alarm activates, check water level in filter bowl
• Open drain tap at bottom of filter to release collected water
• If large amounts present, inspect fuel source and consider draining tank
• Close drain tap securely after draining

Filter Changes:

• Simple spin-on design — no special tools required
• Lubricate push-lock fittings when reassembling hoses
• Bleed system using factory filter hand primer after replacement
• Check all connections for leaks after starting engine

Q: Will this void my Toyota warranty?

A: No. Under Australian Consumer Law, manufacturers cannot void warranty for aftermarket parts unless they can prove that part caused the failure. The PreLine-Plus is a pre-filter (protection device) and does not modify factory components.

Q: Does this fit both the 3.0L (1KD-FTV) and 2.8L (1GD-FTV) engines?

A: Yes. The PL620DPK is specifically designed to fit all Toyota Prado 150 Series diesel models from 2009–2024, covering both engine types.

Q: How often do I need to drain water?

A: Check every 5,000–10,000 km, but the in-cab alarm will alert you whenever water is detected. Drain frequency depends on your fuel quality and driving conditions.

Q: How often do I replace the filter element?

A: Every 40,000 km or as per your vehicle's service schedule. Replacement cartridges (PL150DP) cost approximately $65–$85.

Q: Will it affect fuel economy or performance?

A: No. The PreLine-Plus is designed with a flow rate up to 150 L/h, which exceeds the requirements of both the 1KD-FTV and 1GD-FTV engines. You won't notice any difference in power or economy.

Q: Is this easier to install than the LandCruiser 200 kit?

A: Yes. The Prado 150 kit mounts directly to the factory fuel filter location, making installation simpler. Most experienced DIYers can complete it in 1.5–2 hours.

Q: What happens if the alarm goes off?

A: Stop driving as soon as safe. Open the drain tap at the bottom of the filter to release collected water. If large amounts are present, inspect your fuel source before continuing.

Q: Is MANN+HUMMEL a good brand?

A: MANN+HUMMEL is a German OEM filter manufacturer that supplies major automotive brands globally. They're one of the most trusted names in filtration technology.

Q: Do I need to keep the factory fuel hose?

A: Yes. The installation manual recommends retaining the factory inlet hose in case you want to return the vehicle to stock configuration in the future.

Q: Do you ship to remote areas?

A: Yes — free express shipping covers all Australia Post destinations. Typical delivery: 2–5 business days metro, 3–7 days regional/remote.
