I changed it on my 99LS a few years ago when I had 207K miles, now I am at 267K.
It was a good time to do it for me since I had diff.,axles and exhaust removed, I posted couple pictures of the old filter I cut open, a bit rusty-colored filtering element, but nothing horrible.
The worst part of the job is gas running down your sleeves, chest, armpits, etc., so wear something you are planning on throwing away right after the job

On early models it was underneath somewhat exposed to the elements. 98-00 models it's inside the tank.

You must be thinking Fuel Pump, the fuel filter is in-line thing, located behind passenger rear wheel over axle.

its just above the rear differential. Honestly, if youre not having any fuel issues, i would leave it alone. The filter on my 97 was original with 275k, I changed it and it made no difference.

No issues that I can think of other than that weird starting issue I've had. What other issues are there? Mine has 228k miles.

1999 LS400 has two filters;
One in fuel.tank at fuel pump, and the second underneath the car where fuel tank tubes run through chassis from fuel tank.


23300P is inside gas tank


Upper right (filter canister on horizontal plane) is fuel filter underneath vehicle
