Can anyone advise me just where the fuel filter is located on a MY12 Accord Euro? It appears that unlike the US Acura TSX requirements, Aussie servicing requires that the fuel filter be changed from time to time. (I have a Ryco p/n: Z922.)

It's located along the fuel line.

When I had my 09 Accord Euro serviced, the mechanics informed me that the fuel filter sits inside or close to the fuel tank. In order to replace the filter they had to partially remove the rear seats.

Sounds like my old Corolla. I had to remove the rear seat cushions to get at it. I was hoping it would be under the car. (like on my Saab)

It's accessed via the boot.

You replace it the same way you replace the fuel filter for the CL9, the pump and fuel filter are all in the same block where you have to disassemble/reassemble:

Looks very similar to the SAAB petrol pump unit.
But they (SAAB) put the filter in the fuel line downstream of the pump, underneath the floor pan.

But it will be a few thousand k's before I have to look at replacing it, so not too concerned at this point in time.
