Lexus 77001-48161 Fuel Tank Assembly

Any repairs to the fuel tank or filler neck should be done by a professional with experience in this critical and potentially dangerous work. Even after cleaning and flushing the fuel system, explosive fumes can remain and ignite during the repair of the tank. If you are removing the fuel tank from the vehicle, do not place it where there are sources of heat or sparks. Be especially careful inside garages where a gas-type appliance is located, because it could cause an explosion.

For 2007 RX 350 and all 2008 and later models, the steps include removing the front, center floor cover, and rear exhaust pipe assembly, removing the center exhaust pipe assembly and exhaust pipe support bracket.
