Re: 5th gen fuel filter (Mixturepinoy)
its near the firewall, under the master cylinder, and it looks to be a PITA to change. otherwise, books have decent diagrams

Accord 94-97 fuel filter
location, underhood, driver side, below brake master cylinder
part needed : fuel filter part # 16010-st5-933
tools needed: 10mm, 17mm sockets, 17 mm wrench, 3/8 drive short + long extension,rachet, 3/8 drive 14mm crow foot , 14mm short line wrench
this is a bit trickier to replace but it is simple..some people do the whole job from the top, that is when you will use the 14mm short line wrench,,personally i have found it a lot easier to loosen up the lower fuel line from the bottom ,,, Anyho ....
# 1 remove gas cap, to relieve fuel line pressure
# 2 raise the car up and with the long extension , 14mm crow foot , loosen the fuel line at bottom of filter DO NOT totally undo the line at this time or you will get fuel soaked,, put a pan under car so fuel can go there instead of on the floor once you totally undo the line
# 3 remove the 17mm nut at the fuel rail,( top end of fuel hose going to filter ) do not loose the aluminum washer you need to reuse it
# 3.5 remove the 17mm bolt for the fuel hose at fuel filter,remove the hose
# 4 totally undo the lower fuel line but undo it from the top ( engine compartment)
# 5 remove the 10mm fuel filter bracket bolt,, remove the assembly . you might have to play with it a bit but it will slide up by the master cylinder
# 6 once out, remove the 10mm bolt that hold the filter in the bracket., install new filter, make sure to line it up on the slot
# 7 if you look at the body where filter bracket mounts, there is an opening , below where the mounting bolt is, make sure to install the lower bracket nipple inside that hole,
# 8 before you install the 10mm bracket bolt, start the lower fuel line , from the top , make sure to turn the nut a few turn to make sure it is not cross threaded. once line is started ok, mount the bracket on the body tighten the 10mm bolt,,
# 9 tightem the lower fuel line ,,
# 10 install the upper hose, make sure to use new aluminum gaskets, put gas cap back on
Start the car and make sure there are no fuel leaks

The info that Accord Pro is correct, but let me interject. The great masters at Honda, after realizing the truth about where they put that damn thing which caused a few car fires upon replacement, Decided that it was a lifetime fuel filter (No kidding guys, This came straight from the factory to the dealer techs) So it's up to you weather you want replace it or not.

The dealer told me it was a lifetime fuel filter, even though every manual I had said to replace it. I never saw it listed as a part that was replaced in all the times I brought my 95 Accord EX in to the dealer, which now has over 225,000 miles. But, the car still runs smooth, so go figure.

LIFETIME ???? have you ever removed a filter and tip it upside down ?? the fuel coming out of it is like rusty color .. i dont want that stuff in my injectors ..
Forget what honda says ,, replace it at no longer than 60k....I still advice to do it every 30k ..
