Hello,

I posted a topic about my 04 civic a few weeks ago. Since then it has been to two mechanics (one of which was a honda dealer). They can't find anything wrong. No visible leaks, etc. It is currently back for the third time at the dealer to get re-checked. I have a raw fuel smell coming from the rear of my car. It seems to only get bad at the end of the day after I have driven it a while and it is very hot out. It really isn't so much when I am driving it. It smells after I have parked it. I have since replaced the charcoal canister. No smell coming from the engine. No visible leaks. Any suggestions as to what it might be? I am frustrated/exhausted.

I guess you didn't replace the purge valve or vent? FYI its best to re-post in your other 2 threads about the same problem. That way people can read the history.

any engine light? vapor leak usually means evap system. either a line is torn or a valve is clogged.

This.
You might be surprised how smelly a small leak can be and still evaporate off before you can track down the leak by looking for a wet spot.
