Here's the order I placed with Sewell:
"Filters: Fuel Filter-Fuel Filter (sock) w/Clip
Pending $8.20 1 $8.20
Filters: Fuel Filter-Fuel Filter Assembly (2001-2005)
Pending $29.56 1 $29.56
Filters: Fuel Filter-O-Ring (fuel pump)
Pending $2.57 1 $2.57"
Part Numbers are not displayed above, but they are simple to get. Just go to the parts online store, and type the keywords.

Great DIY. Did it yesterday.
I just want to stress that you have to check the old filter, because O-rings can remain stuck in it. So if you're missing an O-ring, chances are it is still stuck in the old filter.
One thing though, I did this when I was very low on gas. When I put everything back together, I started to car to make sure everything was working properly.
Car started alright, but the fuel gauge indicates almost half a tank while there is much less in there.
I haven't driven the car yet. Do you think it'll come back down when I drive it?

+1,
at first i was like WTF im getting 350mpg + i was all gassed up after the change. then my car started dying mid way to work one day and i realized the the float was kinked on the side. luckily i had my tools on me and fixed it on the roadside. im still averaging 16.5 - 17 mpg on my gs3 after the maintenance.

Well did mine today, GREAT help from this article. THANK YOU!! Also, is it my imagination or did my car pick up 40 HP? Can it make that much difference? I am new to Lexus (driven Volvos all my life) I sold a 99 S70 with 175,000 miles that was worn slap out!! Bought a 2000 GS300 with 169,000. It is 100 times more of a car!!! No looking back. What a great car. I'm hooked.

I am a new 2GS300 owner, I only have 93K on my 01 GS300.
How do you know that the Fuel filter needs to be changed? do you get a sign from the car.
Also after changing the fuel filter what is the differences/ results being seen?
