Gas smell, and Voila!

I started smelling gas about a week ago after I filled up.

Did some research and found out about the plastic fuel pump filter cap/whatever cracking on the top and leaking.

Today, I removed the back seat and pump cover, and sure enough, it's leaking.

I'm not gonna replace the pump and/or assy until I need to.

Will this fix it? I'm thinking it will.

Thanks!

Careful with cheap eBay parts, I'd rather get a decent one from rockauto

I don't see any of those at Rock Auto.

Suggestions?

OEM, hopefully a modified unit.

Re: Gas smell, and Voila!

I'm not looking to spend OEM money, NOR am I looking for the whole assy - I am looking for the part that leaks, as I posted a photo of above.

Re: Gas smell, and Voila!

For the sake of $80 ($60-ish USD, which isn't even that much more than you'd be spending on just the cap), there's no point in not replacing the entire assembly. I understand the idea of being frugal in this scenario, but you'll end up spending more in the long run, either from the rest of the assembly failing or from the cheap plastic from the crap one you bought the first time failing.

The only caps I can find are generic off-brand, so that's what you're going to be stuck with.

I have no problem with that.

Where is this $80~ one you're speaking of?

Thanks!

Re: Gas smell, and Voila!

OEM is $380 us and it's the entire assembly as well.
so the $130 cdn for the aftermarket one is a pretty good deal.
Or you can gamble on cheap Chinese parts

Re: Gas smell, and Voila!

I ordered these a few days ago and received them today.

DENSO 9520084 fuel pump strainer

Beck/Arnley 0433051 In-Pump Filter

We'll see how it goes.

Re: Gas smell, and Voila!

Well.

Apparently, my presumed CA Emissions Civic has a 49 State fuel pump assembly - why did I order CA only parts? The underhood sticker says Federal AND California.

The filter assy I ordered is nowhere NEAR what I pulled out of the tank tonight. It looks like the one in my 1st post. At least it came out easily; hell - I'll be a Gen 7 fuel pump expert after this.

The strainer looks like it may work.

I ordered a BECK/ARNLEY 0433012 (043-3012) filter assy a bit ago.

Try, try again.

Slapped it all back together today (strainer didn't fit, reused the original) and all is well.

Thanks for the help!
