Fuel Filter

Recently I notice that my fuel gauge is acting funny, when pass a ramp or hard turn the fuel gauge goes down by a lot, well I did some search ppl say its a common problem. But still Im not getting good gas milage. I change the spark plugs and cleaned my air filter, so I am assuming I have a clogged fuel Filter. The question is which filter should I get? I have a JDM B16A, should I get the one for civic CX? or should I get the one for B16A? OEM or the one from CT? Thanks!

pcv will be fine...and it will have pretty much no bairing on gas milage...your gas guage thing that happens on my sisters ek coupe so....I think it's a honda thing and wont' be fuel filter related...but you might aswell change it....get your timing set to spec and run atleast 91 octane...if not 94....what is your gas milage..you do have a b16 with a very close geared tranny so if your doing some wot driving then your gonna eat gas on the littel honda gas tank
