Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros. Com

It should be in the tank attached to the sending unit. Here are the directions specific to your vehicle. The directions are for the 96 sedan 4A-FE engine.

Hi, There are no hoses going under the service hole, neither is there a fuel pump located under the service hole. The car is a South African model.

Your assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi again:
This is the only place I have ever seen one. I even checked an earlier years, and they are the same 1993 - 1998. The only thing I can suggest is to follow the fuel line from the tank. Someone may have placed an aftermarket inline pump on the car. It has to be attached to the fuel line.

Can you upload a picture of the service port so I can see what you have?

Let me know.
Joe
