Crushable washer on the fuel return line/fuel filter
NOTE: i posted this in tech as well, but got ZERO response....
dose anyone know if when you over torque it..... will it be fine?
I just got 2 new washers from honda $3 each. I'm not sure how tight to make it, it might leak if i over tighten it.
this is on a 2000 ex, but i'm sure all honda have the same washer and tq spec for all the other applications.

Re: Crushable washer on the fuel return line/fuel filter (Charlie Moua)
its like a mushroom cap looking thing right?
my friend and i just tightened it tight enough to crush the washer...
sorry i cant explain exactly how hard to do it cause we could only use a box wrench...

i think as long as its tight and does not leak fuel when you start the car and the pump primes up then you are fine.. why pay 3bux a washer? dont they come w/ all new fuel fitlers?

NO, NO, NO, if you over torque it it WILL spray fuel all over your battery. I had this happen to me, and then I loosened it to the right torque it was fine. The banjo bolt is 25ftlbs, and the service bolt is 11ftlbs.

Use crowfoot wrenches...
Technically, you'll apply a larger torque than what the wrench indicates, because the wrench length increases by a small amount (the distance from the center of the square hole, where the wrench attaches, to the center of the bolt head). If you're ****, you can measure how much longer you've made the wrench, and reduce the torque setting by the same fractional amount. That is, if you've lengthened the wrench from 12 inches to 13, set the torque wrench to 12/13 of the torque listed in the manual.
