#1 of 4 Changing Civic GX Fuel Filter by 09gx Jan 17, 2009 (10:14 pm)
I'm at 10k miles right now and I've been reading that the high pressure fuel filter needs to be changed. Does anyone have the part # for this part?   Also, does anyone know where or how to change this filter? I'm pretty knowledgeable about cars so I can probably change it myself, but I just don't know the location of the filter.   thanks in advanced for your help Replies to this message: dejapooh (Jan 17, 2009 11:33 pm) freedml (Jan 18, 2009 7:11 am)

Replying to: 09gx (Jan 17, 2009 10:14 pm) I have 40,000 (just turned it tonight). I have yet to change my fuel filters. From what I understand, The engine will begin to fail when they need to be replaced (water is the primary thing filtered). There will be no damage to the engine if you run until the filters are dirty. Because this is a gas fuel and not a liquid fuel, the filters work differently...   Am I right here guys?

Replying to: 09gx (Jan 17, 2009 10:14 pm) Where and how many fuel filters depends on the year.   As far as the engine failing if you don't change the filters, that's correct, it will fail. If your fuel source has water and/or oil in it you can foul one or more of injectors which are expensive to diagnose and replace.   I have a home compressor and utility gas, so I have virtually no chance of having oil or water in my gas. But, if you fill at commercial stations you are at greater risk. Or if your source is a home well you are at the greatest risk of problems from fuel contamination.

I am wondering where the fuel filters are located on my 1999 GX and any pointers you can give me on changing them.
