Honda Accord

1. At emergence in interior of the car of a smell of gasoline during the movement or after the long parking in the open sun it is necessary to make immediately careful survey of all components of a power supply system.
2. Uncover a jellied mouth of the fuel tank and check it for existence of damages and traces of corrosion. On all perimeter of sealing laying there has to undergo the continuous trace of dense pressing it to a tank mouth. In case of detection of defects replace a laying/cover.
3. Check lines of giving and return of fuel for existence of cracks, cuts and other mechanical damages. Check reliability of delay in nipple connections of metal lines and collars of fastening of fuel hoses.

All models considered in the present manual are equipped with system of injection of fuel, and therefore before disconnecting fuel lines or to remove any components of a power supply system, it is necessary to dump residual pressure in system.

4. Whenever possible, examine injection injectors on existence of traces of leak of fuel. In case of need replace the damaged sealing rings.
5. As power supply systems, many of components (such as fuel tank and part of fuel pipes) are located under the car, for performance of check of their state it is necessary to lift the vehicle above the ground, having hung out it on the winch, having tired out on a platform, or having established on props. Take care of reliability of fixing of the car in the lifted situation.

6. Check the fuel tank and its jellied mouth for existence of punctures, cracks and other damages. Pay special attention to survey of the place of a joint of a mouth with a tank. Sometimes rubber of a mouth begins to pass fuel owing to weakening of fixing collars, or as a result of material aging (see an accompanying illustration). Here only those from possible problems which diagnostics and elimination of the reasons lies within qualification of the average amateur mechanic are listed.

Do not make attempt of independent repair of the fuel tank at all (except for replacement of its rubber components) - the contact contained even in carefully aired tank of residual fuel evaporations with a torch of a gas torch or any other source of an open flame can cause their detonation!

7. Attentively examine all rubber hoses and metal tubes of fuel lines going from a gasoline tank (see an accompanying illustration). Check a condition of material of tubes/hoses and reliability of fastening of all nipple connections. Also check the fuel pipes going to system of injection of fuel. Make necessary repair, replace defective components.

8. Components of system of catching of fuel evaporations can also be a source of emergence of a smell of gasoline. The problem of system includes withdrawal of fuel evaporations from a gasoline tank a coal adsorber in which they accumulate during the parking of the car and from where after start of the engine are removed in the inlet pipeline for the purpose of burning in combustion chambers.

9. The most right symptom of violation of serviceability of functioning of system of catching of fuel evaporations is emergence of a strong smell of gasoline in a motive compartment. Check a state located under the car (in its back part) a coal adsorber and hoses brought to it (see an accompanying illustration).
