Unless you're driving a GM product from the '90s; feel shows they all used roughly the same ane from about 1990 until most 2008. Also, know that at that place typically aren't service intervals for the replacement of these things – by and large, when they become bad, you know.

Still, they're an important part of your hooptie's fuel delivery system, particularly if your whip is particularly knackered. A terrible Crown Vic that darkened your author'southward driveway had a fuel tank and so rusty I moved the fuel pickup much higher than whatsoever location canonical by Ford. This was in an endeavor to stave off the sucking upwards of fe oxide filings which would plug the – yous guessed it – fuel filter. This repair (and I use that term loosely) resulted in an unexpected complication: the Vic would quit when the gas gauge even so read three-quarters.

1. Editor'southward Choice: Genuine Honda Fuel Filter Set

Nosotros're breaking from tradition with this list and arranging our selections from nigh to least expensive. While information technology is truthful these types of parts do sometimes have different internal gubbins that bear upon their operation, a lot of people simply buy on price. Employ your discretion.

This is listed every bit a manufactory OEM part from Honda, partially explaining its price which is two or three times the price of others on this listing. The seller asserts this is not an aftermarket part and the reviews seem to bear that out in terms of OE fitment. Dorsum in the day, Honda used to accept an advertizement tagline that read "Don't open your hood to strangers." which totally wouldn't wing today.

Pros /OE Honda function

Cons /Pricey

Lesser Line /Built by the people who built the motorcar (not really just you get the point)

2. One thousand&Due north Fuel Filter

Priced at about two-thirds the cost of the OE Honda filter, this Grand&N option has been reviewed past more customers notwithstanding retains roughly the same overall star rating. The advertizement says this filter's cellulose glass media traps contaminants such every bit rust, clay, and other crap.

Real-world feedback says that, in some applications, the u-groove into which this thing sits (basically its mounting subclass on the machine) doesn't fit snugly. The best advice is to gently file down the bracket instead of manhandling the filter into place.

Pros /Dandy brand name

Cons /Fitment complaints

Bottom Line /Cost vs convenience

3. Beck Arnley Fuel Filter

Reviews of this filter are off-white to middling, despite is being far from the cheapest option presented here (for that filter, scroll downwardly to the bottom of this mail service). Every bit always, it pays to read the feedback – something we hope separates our commerce lists from those of other sites.

A couple of respondents reported strange material in the filter upon arrival and were content to ship it back for some other one. Two others said the product didn't come with those all-important crush washers that are shown in the advertizement. Some, meanwhile, had no problems at all.

Pros /Easy to find, complimentary returns

Cons /Reports of quality issues

Bottom Line /Read the reviews

four. FRAM In-Line Fuel Filter

This brand sometimes gets a bad rap, with more a few urban legends about poor build quality floating around garages in this country. Your author thinks this may exist due to the sheer number of Fram products purchased by DIYers, given their wide availability at big box stores.

Even so, going by our ain experience – which is positive – and that of people who bothered to leave reviews on Amazon – besides positive – it seems most of those stories are but that; stories. A 4.viii out of 5-star rating is stellar, even if it is only from a minor sample size.

Pros /Popular brand, readily available

Cons /Reports of damaged packaging

Bottom Line /In that location are tons of these in utilize today

5. GKI Fuel Filter

GK-who? GKI, apparently. At that place isn't much to go along with this ad, since the seller just describes this filter as "OE quality media for high engine protection." Dimensions are provided for the unit itself merely not for the fuel line outlets.

The mix of feedback is odd, swinging on a wild pendulum betwixt fulsome praise and outright indignation. Some say it doesn't fit the vehicle for which it is listed, while others complained almost it arriving in destroyed packaging. When installed on a car on which it does fit, withal, comments were positive.

Pros /Good reviews when it fits the motorcar

Cons /Bad reviews when it doesn't

Bottom Line /Know what you're ownership

6. Premium Baby-sit Fuel Filter

With enough of pictures to accompany the ad, there's no little excuse for buying this and so finding out your car has an in-tank filter. Seriously; that's some of the complaints about this product. Failing to do a bit of inquiry is inappreciably the filter company'due south fault.

Still, there is a point to be made about cars being listed for which this filter does not fit, and then those clueless DIYers may take a fleck of a point. Your author is still of the opinion that a quick Google search volition confirm the basic shape of your motorcar's specific filter.

Pros /Ample pictures of the product

Cons /Ad is light on description

Lesser Line /Using "tryna" in your feedback nullifies it immediately

vii. ECOGARD Fuel Filter

The intentional misspelling of the give-and-take 'guard' notwithstanding (yay marketing!), this seems to be a very popular product. it'due south sub-$10 price probably has a lot to do with that, though its lengthy product description doesn't injure, either.

This is one of the few filters on this list that purport to have been tested by its manufacturer, save for the OE unit at the summit of the page, and a couple of other large-proper noun brands. The inclusion of exotic supercars in these ads is always hilarious, especially when the office is for a beater Honda.

Pros /Great price, many excellent reviews

Cons /Scattered report of poor bracket fitment

Bottom Line /Break out the file or rasp only in case

viii. Purolator Fuel Filter

Despite begetting a well-known brand proper name and collecting a near-as-makes-no-difference perfect 5 out of 5-star rating, this is the cheapest filter on this list. That might be due to its slightly different structure (fits older Hondas than some of the other filters listed today) but as cheap options exist for other models that have under-automobile instead of under-hood fuel filters.

Praise ranges from "no reason non to buy this" to "fit well and price was reasonable". The ease of installation was also mentioned by several DIYers. Aye, there are just ten reviews, which is an uncommonly small number.

Pros /Fawning praise by existent-world buyers

Cons /Make sure to check the shipping price

Lesser Line /Seems to be a practiced deal
