Fuel Delivery Recall

[schitzo1978]

Some members here mentionned that their gas tanks were filled when they brought their cars in for the fuel rail recall.

Is this a technical requirement? meaning is that necessary to test the work that was done or was that simply a courtesy.

I just picked up my vehicle after leaving it overnight and it appears as though no fuel was added to the tank.

I brought it in close to empty as suggested by members here.

I was under the impression that they would have to purge all gas from the fuel system in order to be able to complete the work.

any advice would be well appreciated.

thanks,

My tank was about half full when I brought it in, when I picked it up it was filled up.

that doesn't exactly answer my question(s).

All I know is they told me to run it low cause they were going to fill it up when they were done. I dunno from technical but they should have filled yours too.

Someone on CL posted that they need to drain the gas tank to do the recall. So no--I guess they don't *need* to top it off, but they did for me.

Filled mine too. I didn't ask why. I figured it must have been because I'm a nice guy and a snappy dresser! <G>

My tank only had about 1/4 fuel remaining as I had just driven 3 hours to get to the Lexus dealer (there is no dealer where I live). When I picked the car up the tank was full - a very pleasant surprise!

We had the recall performed and YES, the dealer did fill our tank FULL!!

as my wife said: "Thank you LEXUS"

Now, if only they can fix the MT judder issue we will be fine!!
