fuel filter maintenence

[sesshoumaru]

how often should i be changing my fuel filter guys?

and how much do they normally cost??

i went to repco the other day, and it was $52 dollars for a Ryco one!! is that normal??

[bennjamin]

Every 20,000kms i THINk is normal maintenence....

And, an actual OEM honda item should be no more than $45.00 - the best way to make sure is to buy honda parts ;)

But , if you oftern use different fuels ( IE premium and unleaded etc) - its adviseable that u change ur fuel filter sooner rather than later.

I change my fuel filter every 5000kms with my oil change.
Generic one should cost you like $10, my mechanic said the Honda would be just under $30 but he couldn't get it for me in time so he threw on a generic one.

Thats too often. Every 20,000kms is fine.

5,000klm?? You.....I wont say. Nah its normaly 40,000klm for my dc2R, and it should cost around $30, and there is no good or bad filter they are all the same and do the same job and not much "rocket science" behind it :roll:

[soul4real]

Well I haven't been servicing my car myself, I've been going to a few different mechanics and each one changes the oil filter. I'll prob stick with the mechanic i go to now so i won't be changing it as often.

there is nothing wrong with changing everything every 5,000km

Yes for the Oil filter, but for the fuel filter (provided you use decent fuel) every 5,000kms is overkill and a waste of money IMO.

[soul4real]

Oops my bad got them mixed up.
Yea Ive only had my fuel filter changed once.

Buy a PiperCross, or K&N
clean both using the K&N Cleaning kit. Clean and oil K&N every 15,000kms, Pipercross every 30-40,000kms

[weezer]

my car has 310,000kms and i havent changed it once. Well not since i got it at 160,000kms lol Could that be a cause of bad fuel consumption?

r u talking about air filters?

[ATSE]

I've just changed mine not long ago... got an extra 70-80km per tank after it... so itz worth it. Costed around 45bux for a Ryco one. Remember to release the pressure from the fuel system before you undo the filter.

[weezer]

holy shit. no wonder im only getting 300kms out of a full tank :shock:

[ATSE]

haha i was getting that too vinh... then Bao helped me change the fuel filter and itz near 400km now...

[weezer]

My engine was throwing codes saying mr O2 sensor was farked. So i thought it was that so i cahnged it and i was still getting bad milage. I'll pick up a filter tonight, see how i go

[civiceg9]

Where is the fuel filter on an EG?

[weezer]

OK i just changed it today. i'll see how i go with my fuel consumption prob :)

[sesshoumaru]

guys: thanks for the help... i plan on replacing mine as soon as i can.

I've been thinking about getting an "aftermarket" fuel filter... apparently they are reusable and also look ricey. but they are like 150 bucks i've heard. heh.

i've been getting about 400km out of my tank before fuel light (b16a). Maybe i'll get more after too!! yay!!

weezer: would u be able to tell me wat filter u bought, from where and how muchies? thanks

[wynode]

Near the powersteering resevoir.

I had a pic somewhere but lost it..........basically look at the left of the fuel rail (facing the car from the front) and follow the hose that goes from there........taht leads to the fuel filter.

[totti]

[weezer]

I just got a honda fuel filter, it was $52 or something like that.

[wynode]

Find any engine bay shot of an EG/EK//DC2 honda and its not hard to point out.

LMFAO!!! :D

[gold87Civic]

I changed mine on my 1.5 carb 87 civic last week, I paid $13 for a honda factory filter for my car - so the price shouldn't be much more than that

[Jdm Oz]

My cars been gettin crap milage for a tank of petrol too, my fuel filter aint been changed since i bought my car either.

So far its done 93k miles, which is about 149k kilometers, ordered a honda one today for £15.
