smells like gas
1991 Honda accord 2.2 se smells like gas while driving at speed and smell gets stronger based on throttle. Confirmed when I took my newly purchased accord off Craig's list On the highway for the first time. what is it? Injectors or more likely the lines near the canister?

Re: smells like gas
Check all your fuel line connections - look for loose banjo bolts, loose fittings at the filter, anywhere fuel might be leaking out.
Start up your car and watch it idle - do you see any fuel coming out? What about when you open the throttle?
It's obviously leaking from somewhere near your cabin-air-intake and I suspect it's near the fuel filter, which is on the firewall, passenger side.
I recently replaced the filter in my '93 and thought I had it tight but it was still leaking a bit. I then took a wrench and put it on the filter itself while I tightened the bolt (as opposed to just trying to tighten the bolt while it twisted within the clamp)- that was it - it just wasn't tight enough...no more fuel leakage.
