What kind of Fuel filter did everyone use in their car?

[Losiracer2]

I've been having this problem with fuel coming out of the threaded line for going into the filter, I bought a honda OEM one from the dealer today and that one still leaked. When i reinstalled my Bosch one (looks original because it was so hard to remove) there were no leaks at all. Do i have to use a Bosch filter? I think its part# 71504 i did a little research on it.

i haven't changed mine in a while, but last time i changed it, i bought it at autozone, fordot what brand though, no problems at all, did you get the right one from honda?

I have a Napa Gold on mine, and no problems... Did you replace the copper crush washers?

[Losiracer2]

yeah i had the guy at the dealership look up the part number on the computer screen. the old bosch one was flat on the bottom though as the supposed OEM honda one is round. yeah all 3 washers were new and replaced, 2 on the exit line and one on the service bolt on the fuel rail

I used a fram one, I forgot to put in the washer that goes onto the fuel hard line and I dont have any leaks. Did you check to see if you cross threaded the fitting and possibly messed up the threads?

Or you could get thread sealant thats petroleoum safe

[Losiracer2]

well i know i didn't cross thread it because i put it back on the old filter and its not leaking at all, I seriously tried at least 5 times by removing it and putting it back on, each time i hand threaded it for the first few threads.

try using the old crush washer with the new filter. But when i did my fuel filter i had no problems with the OEM filter. i replaced the 2 washers and they didnt leak.

lol he said he bought an OEM one and it still leaked.....

thats strange dude...

[Losiracer2]

If i could just post some pictures that i took of the two comparing them, you'd see my problem, the OEM one looks different than the one i had on my car and DOESN'T fit, the threaded line doesn't go in all the way. How do i post pictures? i tried to attach them but i got an error mssg.

[Losiracer2]

okay heres one pic of it






the one on the right is my filter that i have on the car, probably oem from day one. and the one on the left is the OEM Honda one that isn't fitting correctly

i'd call up Honda and have them double check what they gave you since it's leaking.
