Can anybody give me detailed instructions on how to replace a fuel filter on a 93 Civic Coupe DX? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

two bolts up top (banjo) undo those and the one bolt that holds it in place.
Oh you may want to relieve fuel pressure before starting unless you would like a fuel shower

 

I just did this recenlty on my car... the 2 bolts were hard to break free but I got em. Also had to push the filter down and the pull it forward... there was a little lip there that was holding it in place.

PS. Congrads on the 99999th post! :yay:

 

pop the fuel filler door, and remove the gas cap to help remove pressure buildup

go to fuel filter
there 12 mm bolt that goes into a bigger 18mm bolt. bust the 12 mm bolt loose, and it'll remove pressure completely, and you will get some gas coming out of it.

there is a copper washer for the bolt so watch for it

after that bolt is off, get a long 18 mm wrench and bust the larger bolt off (watch for the copper washer again), to get the fuel line off the filter.

the hard line coming from the firewall should be next to the piece you just took apart. i believe that is a 14 mm nut. take that off and now the fuel filter is ready to come out.

the holder for the fuel filter is easy. there is a bolt that screws the roud part of the holder to itself. just remove that bolt and the filter will fall right out.

easy install.

some later version of the eg has fuel filters similar to the ek's and the gsr where the hard line is bolted at the bottom of the filter. that's the only difference i know of.

 

Anybody know how often you are supposed to replace the fuel filter?

 

Thanks Bumnah. :kiss:

 

i believe every couple years....

 

Make sure when you put on the new one you tighten that bish gooooood. I kept smelling gas for a couple days

 

I unhooked the wiring to my fuel pump and ran my car till it died. That way there's no fuel up there at all.

You need a manual random h:

 

This is actually bad for your injectors. Kinda like dry-firing a gun. I suggest not using this method.
