2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R Serviceable In-Tank Fuel Filter

UPDATE: Item is Back Ordered Until July 31st 2024. We should be shipping First of August

Honda does fails to mention there is a serviceable paper fuel filter that surrounds the fuel pump inside your gas tank. Overtime this paper filter will fall apart and partially clog your fuel lines causing a shortage of fuel to the high-pressure pump. Even when using 91 octane we'd recommend swapping out this filter at or around 60K miles.

When using ethanol it’s a whole different story, these filters will deteriorate and the glue that holds the filter assembly together will delaminate and fall apart causing fuel system contamination. Paper, glue and dirty fuel will bunch up and clog the high pressure fuel pump which does not have a pre-filter (except the Hondata HPFP).

We recommend this serviceable filter be changed every 50K on regular 91 Octane Fuel and every 9-14 months while using ethanol.

Note: See the last photo to the left and take a look at the filter inside the filter housing. A new filter will be peachy, almost like a manilla envelope per say. If your filter is dark black, brown or getting shadowy, it might be a great time to change it.

Note: If you are experiencing break up during a pull in the higher rpm range it will most likely be the fuel filter partially clogged.
