What is the name of this part along the brake line?

Asked by Ceezus Aug 18, 2021 at 07:06 PM about the 1993 Lexus GS 300 RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

As I was inspecting my brake lines , I noticed as I would put fluid in ,when
pumping the brakes it would completely empty out under the rear
passenger seat, so I checked the driver side only to notice I'm missing a
whole part under the passenger side, could anyone tell me what is the
name of this part (see pic) and can I put it in myself?

Are you sure that is for the brakes? Looks kinda like a fuel filter.

Yes, that is the fuel filter. Personally I'd either leave it alone if it's not leaking or have a pro replace it. There's a lot of corrosion on the filter and the lines attached to it. They're bound to break once you try to loosen them! There's only one so that's why you don't see one on the other side. Hope that helps! Jim

You should replace ALL fuel and brake lines if there's a leak from age/rust . Or trade it in , maybe you shouldn't put any $$ into an old car
