i wouldnt waste your time. most likely its fine.. they are very complicated to remove and install by unexperienced people(not saying you are, im just guessing because u ask)

Let's see here, 1st off you should change that fuel filter around every 30,000 miles or say 24 months.
I feel it is a great idea seeing as tho my 91'Accord Ex has about 246,000 miles and I havent replaced the fuel pump yet.
Make sure your engine is cool
Relieve the fuel system pressure
Dont Smoke Any Ciggys
Reinstall the filter
Start the engine and chek for leaks

On some they even put the filter in the tank, which sucks

nah - not on hondas,
there is another filter right near the fuel pump but it's only replaced when you replace the fuel pump

Actually - both filters are not too difficult to replace and inexpensive. Usually the strainer in the tank is not a problem unless the fuel cap is left off and some serious contamination enters past the spring loaded flap.
Tip of the month: DO NOT let the vehicle run out of fuel. The fuel pump motor is cooled by gasoline. Allowing the tank to run dry can over heat the motor. Should it fail, it can cost from $350 to $700.
Believe it or not.

Hey mate . I'm surprised to see another smart person on the forum that is actually know something. Not manypeople know that Gasoline takes heat away. Actually that is how the thermistor inside the gas tank knows when to light the low fuel level light when the tank is nearly empty.

Yikes, I just ran out of Fuel in my '96 Accord.
How will I know if I've done damage to my fuel pump?
I'm new to this forum and I appreciate any help/suggestions.
Cheers

If it won't start
If it runs poorly - especially when engine is warmed up.
Another tip: IF you run it dry - after adding gas - and before you try to start the vehicle - turn the key to ON for about 10/15 seconds to allow gasoline to pump up to the engine - then try to start.
Believe it or not.
