Do I really need to change fuel filter for my 2004 honda accord?
It reached 127 k miles. The owners manual discuss nothing about replacing it but many mechanics talk about replacing it every 30 k miles. The car runs great. It takes little more gas than before. I didn't change transmission yet. I didn't change drive belt yet. Also I didn't do brake fluid, power steering fluid, or coolant change yet. The only I did are oil& filter, air filter, ac filter and brake pad. I will do all these soon. Do you think it is important to change fuel filter?
Yes… You might be surprised in the difference. Not only gas mileage. But performance.
Yes you do…
every 30k if you live in a place with dirty gas
or up to 90k in a place with clean gas
That'd be a real trick, as it doesn't have a filter, but a mesh strainer in the tank. Maybe you could have one of these other guys change it for you.
Gas filter change is what? $100? Dirty filter just makes the fuel pump work harder and wear out faster. A fuel pump install only runs about $700, so hey, keep ignoring the routine maintenance and think about all the money you're saving---until you're not.

- Are Honda civic type r ep3s really sore on fuel? I was thinking of buying one but was told they are extremely sore on fuel, worse than Subaru and evos. I like the thought of the speed and power but don't think I could afford half my wages on fuel every week

I have a 1996 Honda Accord v6… My gas mileage has progressively been getting worse over the past month or but I have had my O2 sensors replaced, my air filter is clean, I have changed my oil filter & got oil change and I have replaced the spark plugs but this was all about 3 months ago… But I have never got my fuel filter replaced and the person I have bought the car from said he never replaced the fuel filter before either
