I want to change the fuel filter on a 1991 Civic. Do the in and out fuel line fittings actually "unbolt" from the filter? Thats how it looks. Can anyone walk me through the process. Thanks!

 

1. put a rag under the filter to catch the drips

2. relieve fuel pressure--don't get sprayed in the eye w/ gas --be careful--
remove gas cap; disconnect neg batt terminal (to avoid possible sparks); use
6mm wrench to turn service bolt 1 turn or so while holding the banjo bolt w/ another wrench; use rags to shield service bolt as this is where the gas will spray out

3. remove 12mm banjo bolt and the fuel feed pipe
4. remove strap and filter
5. use new washers when replacing

hope this helps

 

its easy, just releave the pressure beforehand
pull the fuel pump fuse and start the car then let it die

 

First you do unbolt the lines in and out careful to relieve the fuel pressure, I believe that you have to unclip the holder for the fuel filter as well. The new filter will come with new bronze washer things, make sure that you do use them. bolt the lines back onto the new filter and presto better fuel flow in 20 mins! (Its been awhile so if I forgot a step thats why) Hope this helps

Thanks for the quick response.

Another question: I'd like to change the manual transmission oil and the differential gear oil.

1. Can someone walk me through the process for both?

2. What oils should I use? (Can they both be the same oil?)

Thanks again!

 

Do you have a service manual?? They can be VERY VERY helpful. Autozone for like 14 bucks well worth the time for stuff like this.

 

I would listen to him and get manual ^

Go to Honda and get the manual transmission fluid. The differential is in the transmission so they take the same oil and it all goes in the same place.

could he just pull the fuse for the fuel pump while the car is running to relieve pressure? Is there a fuse for the fuel pump? I did this on a 96 S10.
