So, I've had my car for about 3 weeks now or so. The other day I noticed that it was kind of leaking fuel, I took it to a shop and they quoted me $500 to replace the fuel line. All of my friends said that it seems really high to replace the fuel line. Unfortunately with where the fuel line is leaking I will need to drop the gas tank, which means taking the exhaust off..but after that I've been told it shouldn't be to hard. I was wondering if any one knew the part number for both the return fuel line and the normal fuel line? Also, if there are any good guides you can suggest on how to take the tank out that would be great.
I appreciate any and all help!
My 1996 Lexus ES300 is having similar fuel leak issues, or so I think. I'm also seeing a good deal of smoke coming out of the exhaust, it smells very strongly of gasoline after my car runs for a few seconds, and I see my exhaust pipe dripping something(water? gasoline?). It shares symptoms reported in this post as well. My guess is that the picture that I took with the red circle being the location of the leak is of the fuel line. I tried looking through the 1997_Lexus_ES_300_FSM.zip but couldn't find anything similar.
If you have wheel ramps drive the car on them and start the engine. If it's a fuel line you should see the source right away, it would help to remove the plastic protector to get a better look. Because you have a fuel leak do NOT park your car in any enclosed space, really you should not drive the car at all.
