I have replaced the fuel pump two times already. It seems like this is a common problem with Toyota. All I know is all three fuel pumps had small cracks just before where the fuel line connects to the pump, that spew fuel horribly and it costs quite a bit to keep replacing it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this or fix this problem one it does crack?

This.....I havent taken mine apart yet but seems straight forward. I just dont understand what part it is you guys are buying used for $80 and new for $120+.

If someone could show me the part purchased on ebay, amazon, or even the lexus parts website, I'd really appreciate it.
