Ok, I seem to be missing the bolt that goes on top of the fuel lines coming from the fuel filter. This would be the fuel lines that go to the fuel rails. This is a problem because gas spews out when I try to start. I have no idea what happened to the bolt, what it looks like, or what it is. I tried putting a different bolt in that fit but all but all that did was block fuel from getting anywhere and built up a ton of back pressure.

Here's a pic to better illustrate what I'm talking about:




What kind of bolt is it that I need? Is it something special that has a hole in it that allows fuel to pass through, or is it just really short?
Thanks!

 

goto the junk yard or goto the dealership and get a new one.

 

that happened to me, i just stuck a 10mm in there and it worked

 

find a *** with a ricey car like yours and steal his anodized red one. haha
no go to the junkyard it would prolly cost you like 10cent

 

^im not saying your car is ricey by the way.

I likce CRX_Controls answer more. Go OEM. Its probally like 50 cents from honda and you will never have worry about it again.

 

might as well get a new fuel filter while you're at the honda parts counter... lord knows what's crawled in there since the bolt fell out.

 

Ok so I went to Honda and got what I thought was the bolt. Went and put it in, and it still backs up the fuel and doesn't allow any to pass. Does this bolt look like its wrong to anyone? I thought it was supposed to have a hole in it, but all I see on this one is a divet in the end:

 

get new fuel filter and new bolt, not the pressure relief you already got but a new bolt for the fuel line

 

You replaced the service bolt. It is not supposed to have a hole, banjo bolts have the holes in them. Go to the junkyard and get a non-rusty banjo bolt, that service bolt keeps the banjo bolt sealed. If you look there's another banjo bolt on the filter, but it does not have a service bolt. I think there is a blockage elsewhere in the system, most likely the crappy looking fuel filter. I had a fuel filter so clogged before that it actaully became a rev limiter.

 

I broke my bolt off inside the banjo bolt and then got it out with a screwdriver magically and used a fairly short 10mm bolt as my service bolt. Works like a charm. If its still leaking check your washers and make sure they are centered and in good condition this caused mine to leak.

lol rev limiter...but yea he's right you need the banjo bolt (has a hole in it) so just get it from a junkyard

 

Im pretty sure the top bolt is a 12 - or a - 10 mm bolt then there is a 17mm bolt that goes into the bango.

or am I wrong about this?

 

Okay, here's a picture from a 1990 hatchback - STD specifically:

#'s 27, 31, 26 and 30 should about cover it. It looks like # 26 and on down is whats in the picture. If that's the case, then go with 27 and 31.
BTW, click on the number and it'll tell you the part number.
