Where is the fuel filter located and how do you replace it on a 1996 Honda Accord?

Answer 1

if you have an automatic transmission you would go into the gas tank under your car hopefully your car is on "E" if not you need to drain your tank. [A2:] I could be wrong, but I feel like that answer is incorrect. On my 1996 Honda Accord EX sedan the fuel filter is in the engine bay, on the driver's side, bracketed to the firewall and connected to the fuel rail. If you are seeking to replace your fuel filter I strongly encourage you to stop by an autoparts store and pick up a Hayes Manual for your vehicle. I will go ahead and save you the excitement and let you in on a little secret. You will more than likely have to bend the bracket than connects the fuel filter to the firewall. There is no way to get to the nuts to loosen it from the bottom or from the top of the vehicle. Also, pick up some flared wrenched if you don't already have them. It will make your life a lot easier for this particular job. Hope this is more helpful. [A3:] On a 1990 Honda accord, there is a front fuel filter in the engine area near the base of the windshield, and a rear fuel filter underneath the car near the rear driver's-side wheel. To remove the front one: 1. Use fuel line clamps to pinch off the fuel lines (or maybe some rubber-tipped bar clamps will do?). 2. Disconnect the fuel lines and remove the fuel filter (Caution: When disconnecting the fuel lines, slide back the clamps then twist the lines as you pull, to avoid damaging them). 3. Install the new fuel filter. 4. REmove the fuel line clamps. For the rear fuel filter: 1. Block the front wheels, jack up the rear or the car and support with jackstands. 2. Push in the tab of the fuel filter to release the holder, then remove the filter from its bracket. 3. Attach fuel line clamps to disconnect the lines, and remove old and reinstall new.
