Hi,
my '95 Honda Civic first wouldn't start about 2 weeks ago; it had sat for 2 days in sub freezing WNY weather (less than half a tank of gas), and wouldn't start. Battery is new and was turning, so I thought it was perhaps frozen fuel lines. I added some gas and some Gas X product, and after a few minutes it started up and ran with no problems. About a week later, again after maybe 2 days of not being used, it again wouldn't start, so I added another can of Gas x (or something similar) and it started up again and ran.
This morning it wouldn't start (and temps were about 50)so freezing is not the problem. I can hear the fuel pump humming when I turn the key, but it sounds like the engine is not getting gas. Do I need a new fuel filter, or does anyone have any other suggestions.
Thanks! (btw the car has about 105,000 miles)

. First, try replacing the fuel filter:

. Second, read Sections A and B below, if the problem persists:

Thanks so much for the help.

I replaced the Fuel filter this morning, and it still didn't start. (actually did start last night with no problem). I know fuel is reaching the new filter because on my first attempt at installation there was a leak.
I emptied the contents of the old filter into a glass jar to examine it, and it was pretty dirty with a lot of water. Is the amount of water in the filter similar to the amount in the lines and the tank? If so, do I need a new tank, or can I remove it using a product?

Thanks again.

Consider attaching a suitable hose to the fuel line, turning the ignition to ON (Position II), and using the fuel pump to empty the tank into a suitable container. Keep a fire extinguisher handy.

Hi again,

Haven't had the chance to do this yet. Any idea how long it will take to empty the tank (roughly 3/4 full), and another stupid question, how do you properly discard old gasoline?

Cheers.
