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

Richard,
It's a great idea to carry a fire extinguisher in all vehicles, not just
for your own safety, but you might 'happen' upon an situation, and you'd
be the Boy Scout who was prepared.
There's a handy storage compartment in the tailgate of the CRV that fits
a fire extinguisher just right...

Richard,
Seriously, I find that I sometimes get fuel on my shoes because so many
people splash gas on the snow / ground at the gas station. 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?
