Fuel filter o-ring question

[dancam]

So i have 2002 DX. I ordered a fuel filter assuming it would come with o-rings but it didn't. Looks like every other filter out there does. Just my luck. Anyway, i cannot seem to find o-rings sold anywhere separately for the fuel filter. Ill call honda tomorrow just to waste time but im told they dont even sell the filter separate from the pump, so i doubt it. Can anyone tell me where i could buy these o-rings or what size they are so i can find some before i change the filter? I dont want to have to buy a whole nother filter just for the o-rings. So does anyone have some kicking around that they can measure?
This is the listing of what i bought.

This is another ad for one with o-rings so you know what im talkin about.

Return the old oil filter, buy the one with the o rings. Problem solved.

? Did you read my post? Its ebay, bought from china and its a fuel filter. The listing doesn't show it having o-rings so i cannot claim its a defective part. Return shipping would be more than the o-rings are worth. Seller refunded me $10 so now i am looking for o-rings to make this one work.

The one with the actual o-rings is $37.. I'm a college student with very little available money and I can afford this. Not sure why go through all the trouble of finding those O rings, when you can buy a new one. Possibly sell the other one on craigslist?

Don't buy parts from China, lesson learned.

Just go to a supply store and look for the o-rings or buy an o-ring kit with the $10 you were refunded. Harbor Freight has inexpensive kits, if you have those stores in Canada.

Thats $65 canadian and we dont make any more per hour than you americans do. Why would i spend that much to buy a whole new unit when i need 10 cents worth of o-rings? Thats not just frivolously wasting money, its just plain stupid. And i bought something that wont work so i should just sell it to someone else? Sounds like an American thing to do. But if i got something that cannot work I'm not going to give it to someone else much less take their money for it. Back when i was in college and had money to burn like you i still wouldn't have bought another, but i have to watch what i spend now having a life with responsibilities. Socialists took over our province so its going to be a long time before the economy here ever picks up.

I have bought a lot of stuff off ebay from china and have been quite lucky in general. Parts i buy usually work out or the seller is willing to refund all of it. I was a bit hesitant to buy something like this off ebay but locally they are $90 and i got this one for $35. It was my fault for assuming it would come with all necessary parts and not noticing there were no gaskets in the photo and emailing the seller before buying.

No harbor freight here but i did get a small o-ring kit. I am just worried about it being a weird size or shape, like the cross section being oval or rectangular rather than round. I was just hoping someone else would be able to help before i do it. Its a bit of a walk to the store if i dont have the right one and thats if i get it out before they close when i do it
I also went to the dealer today and they only sell the pump as an entire unit like everyone says. It has a strainer, pump and filter that you can buy all separately aftermarket but not from the dealer...

????? Seems to me that's what the Chinese just did to you.

 

[dancam]

Ah, so i should do it to someone else because they did it to me? Sounds about right.

You should of known to look over exactly what you order on Ebay since you've been apparently doing it for so long. You should also not lump everyone together with your "American thing to do" bullshit. You could try to sell the damn thing while noting "hey this doesn't come with orings" so you aren't a douche like your Asian homeboys.

This should still be a lesson learned.
If I buy parts via eBay, which is nearly never, if I see the seller is from China, I'm moving on.
I would rather spend the $90 locally (and get everything, plus I can actually look over the part) than go through the time and hassle that you have been going through for $35.
Cheaping out doesn't always pay off.

I got the exact same one from Amazon (Beck Arnley 043-3012 Fuel Filter) and it came with the O rings. If they are missing, contact Beck Arnley, they can send them to you probably for free.

Or, you can still reuse the ones that were on your old pump assembly. Good luck!
