FUEL SYSTEM
I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THE FUEL FILTERS IN MY 1999 ACCORD EX
DONT KNOW HOW. DOES ANYBODY HAVE A DIAGRAM |
RE: FUEL SYSTEM
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)

RE: FUEL SYSTEM
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:D Reinstall the filter Start the engine and chek for leaks Later Honda Member WheelBrokerAng[sm=pimp.gif] |
RE: FUEL SYSTEM

RE: FUEL SYSTEM
defiantly not that easy on my car 5th gen fuel filters seem impossible
|
RE: FUEL SYSTEM
hey hey nothing is impossible , mate!
but I loved the part where it states - Reinstall the filter !! <--- thats kinda the whole point lol! Jayhova - on your car theres a special wrench for that - i finally figured out how they call it in English - " a crowfoot" hehe |
RE: FUEL SYSTEM
On some they even put the filter in the tank, which sucks

RE: FUEL SYSTEM
Oh ya....that is the filter I was talking about...wrong one..hehehe :D

RE: FUEL SYSTEM
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. ;) |
RE: FUEL SYSTEM
ya, literally HOT tip....hehehe

RE: FUEL SYSTEM
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 |
RE: FUEL SYSTEM
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. ;) |
