after taking apart the old fuel filter there are two little plastic O rings that felt out of somewhere and im not sure where to put them back . i have changed the rubber O rings on the new filter but the plastic O rings don't know where they go

someone help me before i put everything back together

 

talk to OCH....

 

thin is pic of one of the plastic rings the other one looks similar

 

can someone tell me there the two plastic insert goes there are two of them

 

Ok dude, the fist and most important thing, DO NOT LOSE THIS PLASTIC PIECE!!!! Lexus does not sell it at all, whether you buy a new pump or a new filter, so if you lose it, you'll have to find a whole used assembly somewhere at a junk yard.

I'm gonna find my diagrams and update you.

 

Ok, read my thread here. Especially post #16 and 17

thanx i think the one goes between filter and the top part of the fuel assembly (where part that is visible from under the seat)

 

i did but it does say where is the locations of the plastic insert

 

i have probly read about 3 or 4 how to change fuel filter no one sed anything about plastics inserts . and when 2 of the just come out of somewhere i was like WTF

 

One of the plastic inserts goes in between the fuel filter assembly and suction plate, and the rubber o-ring get put onto the plastic groomet. The O-ring is circled in my diagram (the upper one)

 

is it the one i have pictured or the other one ?

 

I don't remember now, but I assume only one of them will fit.

I think the other one might go between the pump and the filter.

Just make sure you don't lose any parts from the old assembly. Your fuel system is pressurized at 55psi, so if you lose one of the o-rings or groomets, you're going to be in trouble.

 

Take and post pics of all the plastic gromets and o-rings that fell out. I might be able to remember and help you a bit more.

 

 

the o ring is a snug fit but the plastic insert is loose

is this how its go ?
