a word and warning on after market fuel filters

Don’t buy aftermarket fuel filters, I saved $10 and bought an aftermarket for my 92 and developed a very slow fuel leak which I incorrectly attributed to failing (old) rubber on the fuel lines.

I replaced the lines and determined that the reason for the leak is that the fuel filter plastic failed (crushed) under the clamp due to being made out of softer plastic.

Went out this AM for a ride and it was leaking again… frak! Going to pick up an OEM one at the Honda dealer this AM.

Thanks for the heads up
