I mean for example, a diesel fuel is another form of energy source that when
it gets on your hands it's hard to get out. At least some of the stations in
my town has gloves. Both lines were phrased incorrectly, - was rushing.

I drive tractor trailer for a living, and when I fuel the truck I always
wear gloves. 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.

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.
