Just done DIY fuel filter replacement.
took me 1.5 hours including clean up and tidy up.

tips:
1. make sure you use ALL the O-ring provided
2. while you are replacing your filter, as well as replace the strainer on fuel pump
3. apply thin coat of oil on O-ring, make it easier to fit
4. do it step by step or take picture before dissemble the fuel filter
8. bought the fuel filter set at Burswood honda $90.

thanks for TomsFA5 for the DIY http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/engin...-improved.html

these some pictures inside the filter after 50k

i think so since we have to deal with the petrol. If you spill the petrol inside the car, the smell will stay for quite sometime.
Also I have checked many DIY videos, for me, it's not worth of risk. something wrong when we reinstall it, fire from your petrol tank.

$211 vs your car
