i replaced my fuel filter about 2 weeks ago and it recently started leaking fuel. the fuel line is new and it has no rips, its just spitting out fuel from in between the banjo bolt (?) and the fuel line. everything is tightened down and yes i replaced the washers that it came with (copper). i dont know what the problem is.....help please?? i need it fixed asap

 

bump for help

 

get a new one and do it again

 

wtf a new filter? or i might need a new banjo fitting?

 

try a new washer first and check the thread on the banjo bolt and fuel filter

 

its not really the banjo bolt. when the fuel line is clamped on its spitting out fuel from the top of the fuel line and banjo fitting.

 

looked at the threads..didnt really help me with problem

 

Try to tighten it down a little more. I have had a similar problem and that has taken care of it in the past.

 

i fixed it..i think
i got new honda washers and tightened down really hard, got new clamps ( fuel injector ones) and got a new fuel line. lol finally

 

fuel filter you bought didnt come with washers? -fail

 

no of course it did..they were the copper ones and i heard that those sometimes caused leaks so i replaced them with the honda aluminum ones.

 

When I got a new fuel filter for my EG the washer that came with it leaked so I had to go get OEM ones and I was fine.
