Fuel Coming Out!!! Whyyy!!!

[Losiracer2]

Thanks for you help guys. I tried reinstalling the old honda Bosch fuel filter and it worked without a leak. Apparently the threaded fitting didn't screw in all the way on the autozone filter and thats why fuel was splurting out like a fountain. The autozone filter looks way different than the honda one also, but im not gonna take anymore chances, ive taken this thing apart and put it back together 5 times and know now whats goin on. The threads when screwing into the honda filter went almost all the way in and didn't on the autozone part. So problem solved, thank you soo much for all your help guys, sorry for being a pain in the ass.

well its not exactly fixed. I went to the honda dealership today and bought a fuel filter OEM with the honda packaging and everything. When i came home to install it it looks a little different than the one that was working in my car. It has a shiny black finish but is round instead of flat on the bottom. Im still having a similar problem with it as with the autozone one. the threaded fitting is not screwing in far enough EVEN on the Honda part. It didn't have the BOSCH sticker on it when i opened it up either. I really feel like finding the exact filter that i currently was driving with. That one, when installed, didn't leak whatsoever. The threads screwed in all the way and everything was sealed. The sticker on the Honda package also said made in KOREA. Is this correct? aren't honda parts made in Japan? I'm going to try and order the exact BOSCH replacement filter online. I really dont know what to do though. Anyone know of a parts store in AZ that carries a BOSCH #71504 fuel filter?
