F. Honda Civic Fuel Filter Replacement
The fuel filter should be replaced 1) every 4 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, or 2) whenever the fuel pressure drops below 40-47 psi, with the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose disconnected and pinched, after making sure that the fuel pump and the fuel pressure regulator are OK.
1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
2. Place shop towel under and around fuel filter.
3. Relieve fuel pressure, by removing gas cap.
4. Remove 12 mm banjo bolt and 14 mm fuel feed pipe (use flare wrench) from fuel filter.
5. Remove fuel filter clamp and fuel filter.
6. Use new copper washers, when assembling.
7. Tighten banjo bolt to 16 lb-ft, service bolt (middle of banjo bolt) to 11 lb-ft, and fuel feed pipe to 28 lb-ft. Clean flared joint of high pressure hoses thoroughly before reconnecting.
CAUTION: Only change fuel filter when the engine is cold. Keep a Class B fire extinguisher ready. No smoking or open flames allowed (e.g., gas hot water heater, dryer, or furnace). Keep tools a safe distance from battery. Wear safety goggles.
