its pretty safe to say the fuel filter has NEVER been changed in my car, its a 93 civic dx hatchback. I went to change it and wasnt coming off.the screw was literally seized on and i was turning and turning and finally put enough force on it and got it loose.but i broke the fuel line connecting to it in the process.i tried to fix it using a fuel hose and clamping it on there but when i turned on the car im guessing to much pressure for the hose and fuel was squirting everywhere.had to call it quits these chicago winters are brutal.any ideas on were i can get a replacement fuel line?junkyard or storebought?

 

What exactly did you break?

You can buy 5/8" fuel line in any parts store for next to nothing if you just messed up some rubber lines...

If you broke the fitting, I can't imagine how, but if you did, there's several braided line kits you can buy in the marketplace for cheap. They also fit stock and aftermarket so no worries there either.

 

well its a line that connects below the screw.i was holding it to get some leverage to get the screw off and i snapped it.its not rubber but i did try using the rubber hose to connect the two back and using clamps to tighten it but didnt work.i have to replace the line jus dont know were to get it. i would take some pictures but its to dark outside

 

i jus bought this car and was doing a complete tune-up(spark plugs,air filter,wires,oil,etc.)along the way i found that the ign.coil was also damaged and that set me back but i replaced it.its just that dam fuel filter and the line connecting to it that ruined my day.cant get my car goin until its replaced.

 

so did you break the rubber line or the hard line? if i read correctly, you broke the rubber hose of the fitting. you can do what Dramier said or you can get another one using this part number 16722-P05-A01 at a dealership or hondapartsdeals.com.
