Default Fuel filter on 2002 (2nd Gen) GS300

I was looking for a new air filter for my GS300 and I noticed that the fuel filter listing said "Not Serviceable", that the fuel filter is built into the fuel pump.

How does this work? Do you have to buy a new fuel pump every time the filter gets clogged?

they sold it seperately at Sewell's when they were in business. It is a sock filter. I would check Rockauto site and buy your Denso filters from there. Much cheaper and same quality. Air/cabin air filters

It is replaceable but is not a serviced item. It will never be included in any mileage service. It typically gets replaced when a fuel pump goes bad and is replaced. You don't usually see them get clogged.
