Toyota 1KD-FTV 3.0L | In-Cab Water Alarm | 2004 to 2015
The PreLine-Plus system sits ahead of the factory fuel filter and strips water and particles out before they reach the pump and injectors. It tells you when it finds water instead of waiting for you to check. Built for bad fuel and hard conditions.
The PL612DPK is the vehicle-specific kit for the 1KD-FTV N70 Hilux. Water and contamination are the main killers of 1KD injectors; this stops it before the factory filter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the PreLine-Plus 250 element upgrade?
A: The kit ships with the PreLine-Plus 150 element. For tuned or high-output engines, Direction Plus offers the 250 element with a volume flow rate up to 250 L/h. Message us if you want it supplied with the kit.
Q: Does this replace the factory fuel filter?
A: No. It installs between the tank and the factory filter as a first stage. Water and large particles are caught before the factory filter, which then does the final polishing.
Q: What happens when the alarm goes off?
A: Stop when it is safe, open the drain tap at the base of the filter and drain the water. If a lot comes out, inspect your fuel source before carrying on.
Q: What is the difference between PreLine-Plus and the Fuel Manager or Ryco kits?
A: PreLine-Plus is the higher-spec Direction Plus system: 100% water separation efficiency and a multi-stage in-cab alarm as standard. Message us if you want a straight comparison for your Hilux.
Q: How do I confirm it fits my vehicle?
A: Check the Direction Plus fitment guide or send us your VIN and we will confirm before you order.
