If you mean the drain cock on the filter body itself, I don't believe all
models have them. I think it's used mainly for draining water as some models
have an incredibly loud warning buzzer that goes off and won't stop until
you do something about it.
I bought a couple of really cheap self gripping strap wrenches from B&Q a
while ago and I'm amazed at how well they remove filters - I only bought
them because they were cheap - the sort of thing you see on the aisle end to
trap impulse buying scrooges like me!
If you want a filter with a drain cock on it, your local Toyota dealer
should know what you're talking about and get one for you. All the non-turbo
4.0 engines I've seen have them, but I don't recall seeing them on the
regular UK spec cars.

BTW - When I was on holiday, someone wanted a copy of a 60 series manual,
but I've lost the email. If you're out there and you still need one, drop me
a line.

Subject: [ELCO] Fuel filter on 1HDT
I went to change my fuel filter this weekend and couldn't find the drain
cock the manuals all seem to talk about. Is there one on mine - where is
it? If there isn't I assume it just means it will be messy?
I couldn't just try it anyway as my filter wrench was too big but will
buy a suitable one this week.
Thanks,
Ian.
