I have been trying to find out where the fuel filter is located on my 2005 Honda Civic LX. I have Googled and searched various forums, including these, and everyone is adamant that it is located under the hood in front of the firewall on the passenger side. For the life of me, I cannot spot the thing when looking under my hood. Can someone please verify the precise location? Thanks!
Okay, I've gotten the assembly out of the tank; not fun but by far not the hardest thing to do. The filter on the assembly is just a sock filter, which is pretty much what I expected. However, according to some sites, such as this one, there is another type of fuel filter for the 2005 Civic. Is that correct? Is there another filter somewhere on the car besides the sock filter in the tank?
incorrect. the fuel strainer is the only filter piece on the car. there is no other external filter. those canister filters were only used up to 2000 civic i believe.
I've been having lags with my car for a long time and tried changing plugs, tranny oil change but one thing havnt tried is the fuel strainer or filter change. I dont know which part to buy for my CIVIC 05 ex. Here is the link of site that im having hard time thinking which part I supposed to purchase. http://www.canadianhondaparts.com/Pa...cal&illid=5624

Isn't there an upper cardboard filter on all 2001+ Civics as well, in the gas tank?
With year 2000 (6th gen) and older, that main filter was on the firewall but now is in the tank, as well as the pump filter sock.

No matter how much I searched or where I looked, I could not find that information anywhere.
