as a result of age heat and moisture the fuel pipe that connets the tank to the outside, rusted and cracked( the vent tube in particular) . i have a few other ef's laying around checked them and they broke in my hands. this is a 121$ dealer part witch requires the removal of back seats and drivers side rear interior plastic. also the damn tank too a reminder to all to check ur pipes.

any old shcool honda dealer mechanic would remember the fuel filler pipe recall on the 87-89 accords. i guess honda has had a problem with this. hummmm :P

where the pipe is covered on the floorpan with that rubber gasket and silver shiney sheild. under there it is outside the vehichle. pop the 4 bolts tommorow and take a look inside. note it will not come off just lift it slightly.


im doing the teardown tommorow will keep posted

my return line blew the other day, gas is too expensive to let it drip onto the ground

Just looked at mine today and it looks fine also, but I do smell gas underneath the car. Not sure why, i don't see any leaks.
