Replacing Fuel Filter

[denvergs300]

Has anyone had any luck replacing the fuel filter on the 93-97 GS300?

Strange that the replacement of the fuel filter is not on the recommended maintenance list. Dealers don't even stock or recommend a change b/c they claim its a "Lifetime Filter".

I bought one online for $20 bucks and plan on changing mine's this weekend.

Yeah, I did mine recently! It's easy! <_< I would recommend using teflon tape on the threads or it will probably leak.

Could you give me a step by step process? Is the fuel filter on the right side of the engine? Kind of half way down? Whats the part # for it?

Yes, Although you owe me lunch B) I don't know the part# if you want OEM look it up on www.toyotaandlexusparts.com

1) Disconnect battery

2) Crawl under drivers side rear door area

3) Look up near the lip under the cat

4) You'll see the cylinder shaped metal fuel filter

5) You'll have to work quickly so you don't lose alot of gas

6) Place pan a container under are to catch gas leaking

7) DO NOT SMOKE OR ALLOW FLAMES IN THE AREA <_<

8) Using 2 wrenches unscrew both nuts holding fuel line to filter.

9) have new filter ready and threads wrapped with teflon tape

10) Careful not to strip threads, hand start

11) Tighten both nuts till no fuel leaks

12) clean filter exterior and make sure there is no leaking fuel

Remove gas that leaked and dispose of

13) hook up battery

14) start car

15) Check periodically to make sure no fuel is leaking.
