i just put in a new fuel filter and it leaks.. then i put the old one on and no more leaks. so is this new filter bad? i already threw it away but if there's a solution i will go pick it up in the garbage

 

did you put new washers on?

where is it exactly leaking?

I would have to say its probably the washers. The new filter should have come with 2 new washers, they go in-between the banjo fitting and the filter inlet and outlet.

 

I have seen after-market filters come with some really "cheezy" washers..

Get some new ones from Honda..
They are usually thicker and fit the connections more tightly..

I have re-used the stock ones before even though
the instructions say not to..

 

i went to honda and each wash cost 4 bucks each... 5 washers thats 25 bucks.. so i said forget it. i asked him how much was the fuel filter he said and i quote "it's 25 bucks plus it includes all the washers".. wtf lol
