Changing the fuel filter on a 1995 Honda Civic PART II

This is the second video in a series. I have been trying to track down an "Error 43" Which is a "Fuel" system error. Thats all that the book says. This is the easiest of all potential fixes. Here we go.

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

@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!

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?

@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..

@EddieVazquez12 Read above reply.

@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!

@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!

@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!

@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!
