Changing the fuel filter on a 1995 Honda Civic PART II

[panoz360]

Yeah what He said...cheap parts, more Beeeeeeer...right

[compatdiste]

Can u tell me where is the oxygen sensor?

[TERRELL24FLY]

beer yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaah

[bdlhayes]

its the inlet side, and the ringed end of the fuel goes on a threaded tube, and the big nut with a plastic cap holds it on has holes around the inside near the threads...where do i get the gaskets

[dixey21]

@bdlhayes I've only ever seen the plastic type gaskets once. I always thought that was a terrible material to use seeing as how gasoline "eats" plastic. I have always installed copper ones, the softness of the metal allows it to be pressed tight without cracking and seals just as good. Those you can get at your local auto parts store, just bring one of the old ones with you to match up with for size. Hope this helps and Happy MOTORING!

[bdlhayes]

what type of gaskets go where the fuel line connects to the fuel rail and if its not called a gasket what is it called.

[dixey21]

@bdlhayes I'm assuming you mean on the intake side of the fuel rail (where the gas comes into the fuel rail and not where it exits). That being said, there should be another "banjo" bolt (the same style as the upper connection of the fuel filter) where it connects to the fuel rail. On either side of the fuel line connection (the circular fitting on the fuel line) there should be a copper washer. This washer, when tightened, acts as the "gasket" for the connection. Hope this helps! Thanks.

Don't you have to relieve the pressure first so the fuel don't squirt out when you take off the lines?

[dixey21]

@TheCoolfez My fuel pump isn't brand new anymore, the one way check valve on it isn't exactly the tightest thing ever made. If you're concerned that the pressure in the line is to much, you can hold a rag over the parts you're disconnecting. There is a way (I'm sure) to bleed off the pressure "Properly" but I've never really cared enough to check. I'm usually just looking to get the job done. Happy Motoring!

What were some of the "symptoms" your car had that made you look for error code? My '94 Civic has been recently slipping gears.. I'm hoping it's just the Fuel Filter that needs to be changed, and not the Tranny! grRr

[dixey21]

@DamselJen My symptoms were, in this order, the check engine light, the lack of power, and the terrible mileage! When the filter gets clogged it can affect the air/fuel mix affecting how the O2 sensor calibrates the injector timing. When there isn't enough fuel due to a blockage, the ECU tells the injectors to dump as much gas as possible into the motor. This keeps it from burning too much oxygen and overheating. A rich mix causes power losses and triggers the check engine light. Happy Motoring!

yo i have a question to anyone that knows about hondas. i have a 95 civic 4 door. no electric no ac . i think the sunroof is custom and im trying to figure out if its and lx. dx . or what. can anyone help?

[JDMxRichy91]

@brown2009619 prob a dx, a dx got ac.. strange yours dont got..

[dixey21]

@brown2009619 Put your VIN into a Google search and see what it says. I've done this when looking at used cars to but and it will tell you make/model and to some extent other features (AWD, turbo, special option packages, etc.) Hope this helps and HAPPY Motoring!

[chudspew]

Where does the small washer go, I know you said that you didn't need to replace it, but I'm at a loss of where it should go?

[EddieVazquez12]

@chudspew the small washer does not go on the bottom like the dude in the video said... it goes on the cap screw on top of the banjo bolt..

[dixey21]

@EddieVazquez12 Read above reply.

[dixey21]

@chudspew The copper washers are placed on the top and bottom of the circular fitting attached to the upper fuel line, between the head of the banjo bolt and the fuel line and between the fuel line and top of fuel filter. On the underside is the smaller copper washer, this goes inside the threaded end of the fuel filter and when the metal line screws into it, it seals the washer between the fuel filter and the metal line. Hope this helps and HAPPY Motoring!

Do you just hand thread the bottom fuel line? I got everything off, but putting it back together just seems to be a pain in the ass. It gives me resistance once I get about 2 thirds into the fuel filter with the bolt.

[dixey21]

@silvertear87 The lower bolt is a pain in the ass I know, the trick is to get it going before you mount it back in the bracket. You need to make sure it isn't cross threading though, it's a high pressure system and it will leak. Just keep trying until you get it. I have faith in you!!!

[silvertear87]

@dixey21 Get this. The OEM filter I bought doesn't even fit! I put the old one back on in literally 5 seconds. I'm gonna try an aftermarket one and see how it fares. Thanks for the quick response.

[jun19020987]

Did it fixed the problem? I have a 95 civic with code 43.. I'm replacing the filter tom.

[dixey21]

@ledesma30013 - did you remember to use the new copper gaskets that came with the new filter, and you have to remove the old ones or they leak.

[grabkem]

good video, thanks for taking the time to post it.

[boko360]

@xqatanx Seconded. My repair manual is for 91-95 and the pictures don't always line up with what I see as a result. Very nice to actually see what I'm expecting, much appreciated.
