Hi all,

I am looking for some advice, opinions, etc. I have a 04 Honda Civic. Noticed when I parked it in the garage yesterday that there was a very strong fuel smell coming from the rear of my car. I opened the hood and didn't smell much of anything there, it was coming from the rear end. I looked underneith and didn't see any leaks. Any bit of information would be great. Thank you.

I have that same problem. I was reading that it could be an evap leak, if there is no fuel dripping on the ground. The evap canister is next to the fuel tank.

I think there's some leak on it.

I just changed the tank on my son's '93. The seam had rusted out and it was slowly leaking out. There was a small puddle when the car had been run for an hour or so. It did not leak after a short trip. The tank is so close to the exhaust that I did not want him to chance it any longer.

Check all the hoses. The tank itself is plastic, so more then likely its not the tank unless you hit something undearneath.
