Why is there no fuel filter on 99s and up? This just doesn't sound good. Any input?

 

There's a screen around the pump. Otherwise there is no serviceable filter. I don't know why Honda decided to change that, but it doesn't bother me. My car is nearing 200,000 miles with zero fuel issues. Besides, it's one less maintenance item to worry about.

 

Well almost all gas pumps have filter systems nowadays, So there is a lot less chance of getting junk in the gas tank.

 

what do you mean? Junk the gas tank is better than junk in the rest of fuel system? -explain.

read it again, what he said is the US standard of comsumer grade gasoline is higher than, lets say 20 years ago.

the only real problem you will see is the cheap gas in mexico-explained

 

My '98 has a bracket & some fittings on the firewall, right where a filter would go. I wouldn't be surprised if Honda installs filters there in cars destined for other parts of the world.
