i bought my fuel filter from autozone, and it came with 2 gold washers, which way do they go on the 15mm bolt? do they stack on top of each other? i can't remember where they go.



also the oem washers that were there were a little thicker then the ones from autozone, should i reuse the washers, or just use the new ones?

 

****, I just used my old washers, and nothing happened yet

 

word. well is that diagrahm correct? i just wanted to make sure. cause i can't remember which way they go

also.. do i even use that small washer? or do i just use those 2?

 

Your diagram looks right, but I wouldn't use the old washers because they are copper crush washers.

 

kool. so i don't use that small extra washer at all?

 

I dont think it's used where you have diagramed. I think it may be used on the other end of the fuel line, is it about half the size?

 

Here, this might help you out. I'm not an expert on this stuff, just had to deal with replacing mine a few months ago...

 

I need to replace mine, my gas mileage is horrible.. Where is the fuel filter located.. I looked in my engine bay and couldnt seem to find it.. or maybe im retarded.

 

yeah it was really small, i figured it might not have been used, cause since i got it at autozone, it was probably a universal fuel filter for most honda applications, so some may have been different.

also, i have an injen short ram intake, the filter is dirty as hell, could i just go to walmart and get a cone filter? are they made any different?

most likly wont flow as good..
and you can wash those filters

 

ok there are 2 washers, 1 goes on the banjo bolt first then put the bolt through the gas line then put another washer on the bolt then put it on the filter heres a crappy diagram


bolt---washer----fuel line---washer---filter


get it?

and tighten it real good cuz it will leak if you dont but dont overtighten it

Its hidden behind the intake arm bolted onto the firewall.

 

i tightened it really hard. i almost sorta stripped the bolt that goes to the fuel filter, but the one that goes from the filter to the fuel rail, was tighted alot too, so i just changed it, i'm gonna buy the K&N air filter clean kit, and just clean the one i have now.
