i have a 96 dx civic coupe... there is a fuel smell when i drive the car... i checked all the lines and no leaks... i was wondering if there would be anything else i should check. could it be the canister? any info would be helpful.. thanks

when you put in gas do you fill it beyond when it stops by itself? cause when i do that my car smells like gas

It usually happens to me when I eat too much eggs or potato's.

nope, i don't fill my gas all the way up either... does anyone think it might be the canister? thanks

I had that problem before but I found out that I was just watching too much **** and everytime I would fill up my tank when I was done I would pull it out and spray it all over the car without realizing it.

^^ LOL

last time it happened to my friend turns out a spark plug was loose

could it be the fuel pump? the smell seems to be only inside the car. can't smell the fuel in the engine bay or outside the car... only from being inside the car?

Could be the seams on the gas tanks, I had this problem a long time ago on a EF civic.

do you have rusty fuel lines like me?
besides the smell of gas is relieving

Normally when you smell fuel you have a leak. Search deeper, drain the tank and drop her down! Probably the metal lines from the sending unit. That's normally the first thing to go. Done it to all 3 out of the 4(4th was carbed!) of my Hondas now!
