after clicking that button, did you actually upload the pictures to the server? Or did you post a "http://...." web link of the photo from your online photo sharing account (photobucket,etc) into clublexus after pressing that button?

If it was the second action, then the pictures in your online photo sharing account, may have been moved around to a different folder (within phobucket, imageshack, etc), or may have had their filenames renamed. This may be why the broken links are showing in in the post.

Thats ROUGH!!! You're going to need to reflare and put on a new end or something. I haven't done mine yet so I can't say for sure, but that is scary to hear.

I just ordered my fuel filter and I will update this thread with new pictures soon!

Salcedo, don't freak out!..j/k There may be a different approach to take if the leak is severe and requires quite an effort to fix the whole issue...

You can look at an aftermarket inline fuel filter option like the chrome one in the picture below. If you can't find a "band" or a method to secure it, You can use some zip ties. It will cost a little bit more than the $8 lexus filter replacement (should cost around $14), but it is far less hassle than cutting new metal lines, making hose line bends to match with a hand tool, and then reflaring the metal hose line ends.


you can look at a universal filter like this:

hope this helps.
