i posted in the gs forum but got no response.

i was looking at my maintenance schedule and i cannot find mention of a fuel filter replacement... when should it be done?

 

Toyota/Lexus does not recommend changing the fuel filter as a maintance item. I had a 95 Landcruiser with 130K miles on it and never changed the fuel filter asked the dealer and they said they never changed them. Don't worry be happy

 

It's in the fuel tank with the fuel pump.
Serviced and replaced with the pump.

 

The '89-00 LS4 the fuel filter is accessible on the left rear just above the half-shaft. On my service schedule, I recollect it was a 60K mile interval. I changed mine at the time and complete cost was ~$110.

 

In many it is indeed in the tank, and is something like a nylon sock of sorts.

 

i was wondering because on my old subaru wrx, there was a separate fuel filter in the engine bay... a vety messy and smelly affair to replace.

 

It depends on the vehicle, some are external.

 

my wrx also had that filter sock someone mentioned above on the end of the fuel pump inside the tank as well.
