I did this diy today. Great directions--no problems. Did not spill even one drop of fuel.

 

Anyone got a part number or are these filters available through an auto parts store?

 

Here's the order I placed with Sewell:

"Filters: Fuel Filter-Fuel Filter (sock) w/Clip
Pending $8.20 1 $8.20

Filters: Fuel Filter-Fuel Filter Assembly (2001-2005)
Pending $29.56 1 $29.56

Filters: Fuel Filter-O-Ring (fuel pump)
Pending $2.57 1 $2.57"

Part Numbers are not displayed above, but they are simple to get. Just go to the parts online store, and type the keywords.

 

Great DIY. Did it yesterday.

I just want to stress that you have to check the old filter, because O-rings can remain stuck in it. So if you're missing an O-ring, chances are it is still stuck in the old filter.

One thing though, I did this when I was very low on gas. When I put everything back together, I started to car to make sure everything was working properly.

Car started alright, but the fuel gauge indicates almost half a tank while there is much less in there.

I haven't driven the car yet. Do you think it'll come back down when I drive it?

 

You may have hooked the float on something.

 

+1,

at first i was like WTF im getting 350mpg + i was all gassed up after the change. then my car started dying mid way to work one day and i realized the the float was kinked on the side. luckily i had my tools on me and fixed it on the roadside. im still averaging 16.5 - 17 mpg on my gs3 after the maintenance.

 

Mmmmh, I guess I'll have to look into that...

Thanks for your help.

 

if you replace the pump as well, how many o-rings total are needed for everything?

 

very helpful diy, i just changed out my fuel pump, strainer and filter

 

I'll do this soon...

 

Did mine today. Easy like Sunday morning

 

Well did mine today, GREAT help from this article. THANK YOU!! Also, is it my imagination or did my car pick up 40 HP? Can it make that much difference? I am new to Lexus (driven Volvos all my life) I sold a 99 S70 with 175,000 miles that was worn slap out!! Bought a 2000 GS300 with 169,000. It is 100 times more of a car!!! No looking back. What a great car. I'm hooked.

 

I can't get the service manuals to open, it says they were removed per Toyota on their site.. Or is there a trick somewhere to get them?

I'm looking to do this this weekend.

 

???Huh??..........

 

I am a new 2GS300 owner, I only have 93K on my 01 GS300.

How do you know that the Fuel filter needs to be changed? do you get a sign from the car.

Also after changing the fuel filter what is the differences/ results being seen?
