2001 to 2005 Honda Civic fuel filter replacement - fuel smell fix

if you start smelling gas in your Civic, it is most likely cracked fuel filter/pump housing

[@JoseOrtiz-mp7xw]

This has got to be one of the best videos on youtube. You described every part and even showed us the dirty filter on the unit. Thank you.

[@JrSpitty]

I had to open up the ole Honda manual... didn't want to believe you when you said that was the filter! But this would explain why mine is leaking now... noticed the bottom of my fuel tank was wet when i did the semi-annual oil change an inspection. Was looking for some insight onto why those cracks form and you sir are golden!

[@deegee8128]

Man your so damn helpful, I was hoping for proof it was a filter, until your cracked it open. Thank you! My check engine light keeps flashing randomly.

[@brannonbrown3825]

Great simple no fluff explanation, really appreciated.

[@srthomp420]

Excellent video. Tells me everything I need to know about the pump, filter, and FPR on the civic.

[@IppiopaidFEEDBACK]

I just checked and this is totally my problem! No wonder why when I did my last oil change I saw drip marks of gas, on the gas tank under the car. I originally bought a solenoid replacement for the charcoal canister, but when I took off those four screws! that there’s a whole bunch of gas pooling in on the gas pump I realize that’s the problem. Plus my mpg has been horrible for the past 2 1/2 months and they smelled gas…well I got used to it. I’m going to check your porch store in my area to see if they carry and bring back the solenoid because I don’t need it right now. Thanks again!

[@IppiopaidFEEDBACK]

So I just completed this this past Saturday, and I can’t smell the gas anymore and my mpg has gone up! I was going to do it myself, but I went to a friends house and I’m happy I did, because they are some little nuances when installing this. So be prepared to might have to tweak tweak it a little bit. Take your time and you knock it right out.

[@swaveman9434]

how long did you prime it for

[@jaymez858]

I think you sped through the most important parts. Most people will probably never change a fuel filter in their life. Showing how to swap the new filter onto the pump would have been better than just saying it’s easy and speeding through. If I say it’s easy to change drum brakes and you never did it before, would know how if I sped through? Thanks for your effort.

[@HakenE30]

I know but I have never done this before, so it is just common sense, remove old one and put the new one the same way you removed the old one.

[@plus_r_mode8173]

If you don’t want to use a cheap China part … Honda also makes it 16010-S5A-932 That’s the part number

[@robertjackson7590]

Great video, they should never put such a fine mesh filter in such a hard to access location. They fixed this on the newer models.

[@zolaHOTBULL]

Yes, this seems like hard job to do. But if you think this is odd place for filter, just look for Mazda RX-7, they put oil filter under rear differential, so you must drop whole back differential and then change filter... damn pain XD

[@robertjackson7590]

@@zolaHOTBULL Bypass it and install an update kit to a better location. Never do stupid twice.

[@ZERONEINNOVATIONS]

Reason explained with good detail. I guess I should just buy a NEW chinese filter part. I'm a pozza delivery driver and I had to drive my car with this gas smell for 10 hours yesterday and I got headache. Thankyou for helping my health!

[@ogspmex9926]

10 hours bro!!!!! I would've been dead props to you for holding up that long

[@toyotatroy]

Thanks brother. I just replaced mine and had the exact same issue. Glad it was $25

[@paulb217]

Nice, helpful, practical video that helps me understand the subject much better

[@jimmydrakopoulos2140]

This was a fantastic video. I had a 0420 code. I put a gallon of lacquer paint thinner. All worked well. The next day the started then would not start again. I could crank it up but not start. I put in some starting fluid and car turned over but stalled. I am thinking the filter is clogged or failed fuel pump. Your video will help me and I will follow up. Thanks you.

[@mistermr2147]

This is a great video, but I don't think it quite demonstrates how annoying connecting the new filter to the old pump is. In particular, there is a little black cammed plug with a brass(?) insert that was impossible for me to remove without breaking.

[@HakenE30]

I had no problem with mine

[@Jason-wc3fh]

jb weld hardens like cement and always gets penetrated when I've tried using it on gas tank leaks. It's great at bonding metals and whatnot, but it doesn't expand/contract at all and it gets eaten through by gasoline.

[@111sdh]

Just what I needed to diagnose my son's car. Thanks!

[@sandeepsanghera1069]

My nigga fast forwarded the most important part...

[@FutureDreamZz]

On god Smfh

[@zolaHOTBULL]

Nice tutorial sir! My Honda runs better now, without clogging and choking, but it cranks 3-4 seconds more than it did before. Before filter change, startup was immediate. This is the only "problem" if it is. What could it be, do you know?

[@HakenE30]

fuel pump check valve could be bad,

[@charlesnelson838]

So shouldn't you remove the battery terminals before ?

[@zero8xkira]

You should remove the Main Relay (it's blue) from behind the glove compartment then remove the #17 fuse from under the steering wheel and try to turn the car on a few times. This will remove pressure in the fuel lines. While you're at it you should replace the main relay with a new one. Then remove the negative terminal from your battery. Otherwise you'll follow his steps and spray gasoline all over your back seat

[@UncleRedd87]

@@zero8xkira Honestly as bad as the cracks in his filter were, the pressure probably relieved itself, haha. But yes, sounds like good advice, as I will be needing to do this soon.

[@manuelalva9984]

Very well explained, thank you bro!

[@Asukmadik]

Simply explain straight to the point help me out a lot thanks man keep it up!!

[@richardbomersbach6248]

Hey, any tricks grtting the grey plug to come out of the top of the cap? Mine seems to be stuck!

[@trsking]

Can you pls, point out better where this pump is located? All i got was in the rear back seat..? Help. Thxs.

[@zestylem0n]

What is the difference between this fuel filter and the one in the engine bay?

[@cmdrfunk]

This one exists

[@swaveman9434]

how long should i prime it for? after install

[@PardonTheInteruption1]

what is the name of the white clip connecting the pump and the fuel line. .I believe that clip is in the fuel line, I think.

[@alvaroortega3233]

Thank you for the info sir.

[@recreate3204]

Filter still holding up?

[@plus_r_mode8173]

Beck/Arnley sells the top fuel filter portion Part # 0433012

[@austinchandler2663]

Is the filter still working good or should I just buy the full assembly?

[@HakenE30]

still works good. Maybe buy the whole assembly if you don't care about the cost

[@edwardsandoval1756]

I would buy the full assembly because there's another filter in the fuel pump

[@cmdrfunk]

Too late for you, but for others... I did all this and put the thing back in the car and now it won't start. It was much more of a pain in the ass than I thought. One hose has a big o-ring in it that makes it really hard to plug in and get it to lock down into the new assembly. I have no idea once I finally got it into place if the o-ring ended up positioned correctly. There's another connector where it's near impossible to press in the 2 release clips at the same time to pull it out without breaking it. All this while gasoline leaks out everywhere while you work on it. I'm just going to buy the full assembly now

[@vincentmills4067]

@cmdrfunk any update on this? I had the same problem

[@elguapo7722]

The fuel filter is part of the fuel pump? It's not in the engine bay?

[@HakenE30]

it is on the fuel pump but you can just buy the filter part as you can see in my video

[@shanedawson-xt3wt]

I did this but I bought a brand new Honda pump! That’s the only way. When you start buying knock off parts when it comes to the fuel pump you run into nothing but trouble trust me!!!!!

[@ChrisShaud-p7x]

I know this is 3 years ago but he forgets to tell you about all the gas that's going to spew out and that the Chinese version the hoses don't bend to the way you're going to need them to bend it's very time consuming your best bet is to get a fully assembled fuel pump with the filter already attached

you didn't do a good job then

I hope you figured this out, but if you still need help make sure everything is plugged back in the way it was before you changed it. There's a lot of little clips, and they're easy to miss.
