New 2003 Accord, Gas smell after filll up
new 2003 Accord. 6000 miles. Sometimes while on the highway we get a raw gas smell inside
the cabin. It starts out very strong and goes away within a minute or two. The last time it did it was about 10 minutes after fill up. I can't remember the previous time. BTW, I did not top off the fill, I always remove the nozzle when it turns off. Any idea's? Thanks, Richard |

When I drive away, the snow melts off my boots and really smells up the car for a while. Not too much I can do to avoid it, except I stomp my boots clean before getting in, if I think of it. Maybe that's all that happened with your new car? 'Curly' ------------------ |

Did you overfill -- keep on adding fuel after the pump clicked off.

Use a disposable glove. Close all windows and doors. Deisels are notorious.
Deisel stations provide gloves for this purpose. Get inside quick observing wind direction. Leave gloves outside. Watch where you're going. Indi > new 2003 Accord. 6000 miles.

You're right, it does take quite a bit, to remove the residue from your hands. Gas tends to be a touch easier to remove (probably because it seems to evaporate faster than diesel. I did find a product that removes odours from your hands. It's a small oval metal (not sure of it's composition), that when used by itself under cold water, is quite effective in removing the smell. -- Brian www.accesswave.ca/~orion |

Re: New 2003 Accord, Gas smell after filll up
Thanks All,
Well, Like I mentioned, its on the highway and it only lasts a moment and its always after a fill. NO, I do not top off the system. I was wondering if there was something that was in the recall of the 2003's or if any others have had the problem. I guess I'm nuts but I'm not to concerned over it exploding. I'm going to get it in this week, but fear isn't the motivation, I just don't want any major problems to occur. Its probably something really easy like the emission system venting from the tank. Thanks all, your posts indicate that its a one of a kind problem.
