The fuel filter on the fuel injected models are next to the firewall as the previous person posted. However, if your truck has a carburetor it will be under the truck on the passenger side near the rear axle.

Also, the fuel filters themselves are different. You will need to specify whether your truck is fuel injected or carbureted when you buy it.

I have an 88 B2200, and it keeps getting water in the gas tank/fuel line. Anyone else have this problem?

I just bought an 89 B2200 at 200,000 km or 124,000 miles (carburetor), when I am on the highway I am unable to go faster than 120 km/h or 74 miles per hour, so if I put my pedal to the floor, I lost speed! but I think there is to much of cold air going in my carburetor (i live in Quebec Canada, and I never did a ride in the summer!). Does anyone have an idea for this problem?

Your Engine is Coked/Carbonned Up. On a Cold Engine pour 5 Quarts of Regular Gasoline through the Oil Filler. Run the Motor only at Idle for 15 Minutes, then change the Oil. This will restore your Performance for Cheap.

*in reference too that one guy asking about a fuel filter and if it should fill up*

Almost never does the fuel filter fill up or even begin to fill, but it does filter and alow fuel to pass no problem.

Also I'm about to buy a 1989 Mazda B2200 SE 5 that's in great shape, little rust on the wheel wells, bumpers, and the box, from what I've heard it runs great and the guy has about 10 years of service records and has taken it into mazda to get it checked out and they passed it no problem. The muffler might need to be replaced so I dunno.

So anyways, I was wondering if anyone knew a site that gave me all the specs and could tell me a more in-debth pros and cons list for this vehical.

Thanks :)

Asking for information.

89 B2200 with 100,000k.

Previous owner just put on new head and rad over heated now there is mixing of oil and coolant in the crankcase likely cracked head or gasket? or other cause that is common to these engines thanks for your input.

I recently acquired a Mazda B2000 SE-5 and my grandfather and I replaced the cylinder head. However, it seems to be leaking oil and a little coolant. I replaced the water pump and it seemed to help, but there still seems to be a problem, maybe from the oil cooler. I have no idea on the oil leak, but after I run the engine there is burning oil near the number 1 spark plug. o assume the valve cover gasket is the problem. My gas mileage is bad, 15 mpg, does anyone know how to fix that?

I have an 89 Mazda B2200 pickup that I need to find an engine diagram on. I tore the motor apart months ago and now can't remember where the ac bracket mounts on.

I have a 1989 B2200 2.2 liter. I've had it about 9 months and ever since I've had it theres been a knocking noise coming from the engine. Tried a lower octane gas, 87,but it still knocks. Truck has 220,000 miles. I use 20w-50 oil in it. Any ideas on what to do? Thanks, Shane.

B2200s have a problem with the lifters not pumping up fully, due to wear and small oil ports in the rocker arms. 20w-50 is too thick. Switch to 5w-30 and it will get better. To cure it replace the lifters and clean the rocker assembly

I own a b2200 88: just a side note.

Take care of your timing cover.

It's a hassle to find and affordable one.
