Honda ain't the only one that pulls that little trick , glad you showed him with such humbleness . Hey man keep up the great vids I get a kick out of em every time 🤣👍👍🇺🇸
I knew about the one in the carburetor, that you showed in an earlier video. But I didn't know there was one inside the tank. I learn a lot from your tips, thanks!
Omg I am so happy that I found your video. I’ve been looking and searching my ass of for the past hour to find anything that looked like the filters in al the other video’s. Just now to find out that it’s in my thank. Greatfull to learn from small things like this. ❤
That is a lot nicer than the old Honda mower I had years ago. You had to fish the straw filter out of the fuel line, what a pain but at least putting the new one back was a snap.
i got a briggs 16.5 single . on the mower tag it lists a oil filter number, but i dont see a filter on the engine. im wondering if its inside somewhere like a motor cycle or something ,but i dont see nowhere it could be.
I thought it was just a prefilter... I clean it as best I can and put it back, though once easily removed a new one can't be that expensive, so, why not? One thing I do is to clean the tank as much as possible before putting it all back together. You are so correct about the water starting the corrosion process. I use a bit of Marvel Mystery Oil in the first tank of gasoline to slow it down after cleaning the tank. We all have to be aware of ethanol in the pump gas as it is hydrophilic. Prevention is the best thing.
This sounds like what I may be looking for. I was about to order a new air filter on Amazon, but was browsing through the sets, and well, I see a set that is for my exact model, but has TWO fuel filters. After watching the video, I thought it may have been an optional in-line one he spoke about, but your comment is making me think otherwise. It's not the screen style like this one... I would describe it as having accordian-style folds that form a cylinder. Its contained in a clear canister and the top and bottom have the fittings that would accommodate a fuel hose. I'm going to check out his other video if I can find it...
@@heidis8713 Not sure which video MowerMedic showed this, but here is one from Steve's small engine saloon. czcams.com/video/cK-i1QjwN5M/video.html DonnyBoy also talked about it.
@@cpcoark thank you so much for the link to Steve's video. I did his carburetor clean out. Turns out the filter in the Amazon bundle was a lawnmower fuel filter. 🙃
Hi. I am not a mechanic but have learned a lot in the last 20 years having to have my equipment fixed. My fairly new Honda GX 270 keeps bogging out and the first thing I thought was that the fuel filter was clogged. Now realizing that that’s not normal and a problem, I’m wondering how do I know if my fuel filter needs to be replaced without taking off the whole tank?
Well imagine that, the guy that works in this stuff for A LIVING actually knows what he’s talking about! Weird Seriously though, good stuff, I love watching your videos!
I have a ChoreMaster power washer with a Honda GCV160 engine. No fuel was getting to carb so I checked all the fuel lines for a clog all the way to removing line from the gas tank. There's just a drip or two when I poke a poker through the nipple hole (yes, there's enough new fuel in the tank). Nothing removable from the outside (the nipple is part of the tank) Can't find anything online about a filter accessible inside the tank, but the poker stops cold after a few inches and the opening is not visible inside the tank. There is something in the bottom of the tank, but no obvious way to remove it. It has a yellow emblem that looks kind of like a fish. Thanks in advance for any advice.
I have had the same experience myself, but the person who said that honda (and the various clones) don't have a fuel filter did not call me a dumbass. At least you knew about it, so who is the dumbass now? Keep up the great videos and don't let idiotic comments bother you.
Perhaps I was to quick to criticize, I was thinking a Honda Civic vehicle. Please confirm, where and what this fuel tank came from. Please and thank you!
i have a one year old Honda lawnmower, it doesn't start anymore. has good spark i cleaned the carb, sometimes it start but then shut down. took it to Northern tool they did the same cut the grass two times not starting again.. NT said Carburetor need cleaning again??? 😳 can you tell me what it could be
Northern tool is not the place to go for small engine repair, you need to find you a good reputable Honda dealership. There are a lot of variables at play here, if it only mowed two times then I would say the gas that you poured in it probably has water and is old. you need to get rid of all your old fuel re-clean the carburetor and start from scratch. if it’s still dies after that then I would hook a spark tester to the coil and check for spark. Also check your fuel cap and make sure it is venting there has to be something simple that you’re missing
Tank didn't have a cap on it when you took that out now it's got a cap on it what kind of a f****** tank is it I'm about to agree with the other guy that made the comment
😂😂😂😂 that person is a dumb was for sayin something if he didn't know ...... this guy say talk about the filter because he was sure and he was 100% sure and i knew it myself that most small engines has the filters in the tank
Honda ain't the only one that pulls that little trick , glad you showed him with such humbleness . Hey man keep up the great vids I get a kick out of em every time 🤣👍👍🇺🇸
You are absolutely correct! Some of the new honda's also have another filter in the sediment bowl on the carburetors that will plug. Thanks
I knew about the one in the carburetor, that you showed in an earlier video. But I didn't know there was one inside the tank. I learn a lot from your tips, thanks!
i can say im very thankfull for what ive learned from you in the last several years !! keep up the good work !!
I accidentally found the hidden filter on my pressure washer. It was plugged solid. That is why a friend gave it to me.
Are you trying to be my go to for fixing all my equipment. Thanks for this HUGE TIP!
I knew about that filter in the tank on Honda's. I guess you showed that person who the D××B A×S was, thanks.
It's really funny to watch you educate the ignorant. And yes i knew about the filter, at least on my atv.
Yes sir, we keep them in stock. What a rude comment that person made to you, he doesn't know you are MM1. Which stands for.... THE #1 MASTER MECHANIC
Learn so much watching your videos
Thanks for the tip, I get quite a few of these older honda engines in the shop. That is something I'm going to have to look out for!
That filter Plus the one that sometimes is hidden under the fuel inlet barb on the carb that Donyboy73 discovered
And on the gcv engines they filter is inside the fuel line
New to me, thanks for the videos. Keep'em coming!
I know about them NOW! LOL. I had know clue before this video.
I learnt sumthin today. I have a 6 hp Kawasaki on an old JD SB14 mower with a hidden,hard to clean filter on the tank also. Thank you for the videos
You learn something new every day
Lol, some folks think ignorance is bliss. For the rest of us it's painful. I wish people understood this...
I never knew about that. Great tip! It was fun watching you having to humble a hater!
Good one MM1, Been changing them out for years as part or an engine service.
If you didn’t know about the filter in the tank, well, must have a nice shade tree! 🤣
You ain’t no dumbass for sure keep them coming bro 😎
Omg I am so happy that I found your video. I’ve been looking and searching my ass of for the past hour to find anything that looked like the filters in al the other video’s. Just now to find out that it’s in my thank. Greatfull to learn from small things like this. ❤
Yes, I knew about this filter. I replace it every two years. You will also find a filter in the fuel tank of Toro mowers with Kohler engines.
I knew they were there buddy thanks for the videos there great 👍
That is a lot nicer than the old Honda mower I had years ago. You had to fish the straw filter out of the fuel line, what a pain but at least putting the new one back was a snap.
I didn't know. Dammit now that's another thing I've learnt from this channel, I need to start writing all this stuff down. 😁
i got a briggs 16.5 single . on the mower tag it lists a oil filter number, but i dont see a filter on the engine. im wondering if its inside somewhere like a motor cycle or something ,but i dont see nowhere it could be.
Thanks for the heads up!

I had no clue. Thanks for the info 👍
Ha! Never knew. Was told it wasn't needed to be replaced. I see others were lead to that misbelief also. Thank you for posting!
Thanks for the info on these filters.
Yup. Also the fuel filter hidden in the carb. You showed on a earlier video

Hey I didn't know it had one either , but then I'd never worked on a Honda metal tank one . Thanks buddy ...just hope I remember it - LOL
Another awesome video.
Yep, I knew about it when I took the fuel line apart to drain the old gas out of the tank. Thanks for your tips. Kt
Hi. I am not a mechanic but have learned a lot in the last 20 years having to have my equipment fixed.

Now realizing that that’s not normal and a problem, I’m wondering how do I know if my fuel filter needs to be replaced without taking off the whole tank?
Handy dandy advise...Will keep an eye out for the fuel filters hidden away...
thanks for the john deere gas tank tip. you saved me a lot of time.
Does it apply to Honda snow blowers also, like the HSS 970?
I have a power washer with a Honda engine. Thank you sir.
my 8 year old nefew knows there is a filter in a honda gas tank lol ,, dont worrie about idiots just keep up the awesome videos !!
Well imagine that, the guy that works in this stuff for A LIVING actually knows what he’s talking about! Weird
Seriously though, good stuff, I love watching your videos!
I use same engone on a lowboy thanks for the tip. Inline gilter works perfect.
Do the kohler command pro series have one of these filters?
Yes I did know ,and as usual you are right .
I have a ChoreMaster power washer with a Honda GCV160 engine. No fuel was getting to carb so I checked all the fuel lines for a clog all the way to removing line from the gas tank.

i have a honda engine that does not have a inline fuel filter in the tank but 1 external one by the fuel cutoff.
Great video I would say the guy that called you dumba** is the dumba** in this one i have never seen a honda engine with one of those in the tank. LOL
Hi i have a honda gcv 170 mower do you know where the fuel filter is?
Thanks, good to know..
I’m commenting. I suspect that they did. I had even heard or seen someone show where they were before.
I have had the same experience myself, but the person who said that honda (and the various clones) don't have a fuel filter did not call me a dumbass. At least you knew about it, so who is the dumbass now? Keep up the great videos and don't let idiotic comments bother you.
Looks like you have to remove the fuel tank to access?
Thanks! I've searched everywhere...
Wow 😮 thanks for sharing
Wow! News to me. Thanks! huge.
I do the same thing. Cut it off. Great video
Yep. Found it by accident though.
Perhaps I was to quick to criticize, I was thinking a Honda Civic vehicle. Please confirm, where and what this fuel tank came from. Please and thank you!
I never knew.
thank you
I’ve always wondered where they were Until 2 Years ago!

GREAT!
I found it by accident.
Everybody's an expert. Just ask 'em. :)

Yea, I Liked & Subscribed ...
Yes I did
That’s not a filter that’s a fuel strainer lol so the rust in the tank doesn’t get to the carb that’s not a filter!
Where's my fuel filter on my 2000 Honda Odyssey man I need help
Honestly buddy I didn't know that they had one
I thought everyone knew.
To the guy who says no "fuel filter" on a honda, are you freeze dried or doing hard time. He does put the dumb in "dumbass "!
Tank didn't have a cap on it when you took that out now it's got a cap on it what kind of a f****** tank is it I'm about to agree with the other guy that made the comment
Who's the dummy now?
