#216289 Check your injectors and fuel rail. Also if you can yourself, look at both your fuel filters. Are you losing gas? Do you see anything wet in your engine bay?

#216290 Also check your fuel regulator And no not good for you and your kid to be smelling that for long periods if time

#216360 Thanx for the input Honda4life
I replaced the fuel filter about a month ago thinking it would solve the problem and yes actually I am losing gas.... more than I would think for a civic to be losing
Don't see anything wet and what am I supposed to be looking for in the fuel rail and injectors?
Thanx for the help

#216370 Your injectors gromets could be worn out and could be leaking because they are worn out. Also check you fuel hoses and Vapor recovery system. You could also have a faulty injector

#216375 double check the bolts on the fuel filter, if you dont have the washers on the filter it can leak fuel, also check the charcoal canister, smell you exhaust coming out of the tail pipe, does it smell like gas??

does the car seem like it has a lil bit more power?? or is it fine??

#216381 Maybe it is exhaust fumes i found my leak on the weld of the mid pipe exactly near the shift boot. Try to check your exhaust.
