You know, that little cap on the left of the fuel rail? Is it really necessary to have? I accidentally knocked it off and lost it and now coincidentally my car smells like gas in the inside. Anyone know where I could get one, or does anyone have a spare?

Youre talking about the nut that holds the fuel hose to the rail? .....of course you need it
you have gas spilling all over the place

No, its just a plastic cap that covers the screw on the left of the fuel rail.

Don't start or drive your car until you get that part replaced. If you smell fuel then you have a leak an a fire hazard. GO to Honda and get one if all else fails

I guess i have no idea what youre talking about.
But if you seriously smell gas, you need to find exactly where its coming from because its a HUGE hazard

I've been driving it all day.

and CO doesnt kill you instantly either...that doesnt mean its ok

TehNOS

I can't find one immediately though, and nobody really just sells the stupid cap. I think it may have fallen in the air cleaner tube(that tube that sits below the passenger headlight), but I can't get it out.

I only smell gas inside the car not in the engine bay.

Thanks for the input buddy. Anyways, I can't smell any fuel in the engine bay even while the car is running. Even smelled right at the fuel rail, nothing. Still getting a gas smell inside my car. Nobody has been inside my car but myself, and I don't walk around in clothes drenched in gas.

I had an EG do that check the gasket on the fuel level sender cover

My buddy is sitting right beside me and he doesn't know where thats located, could you fill him in? I know, he's an idiot.

TehNOS

Damn, I have to remove the back seat just for this.

TehNOS

Wow am I an idiot? Alright, turns out this whole thing isn't a fuel problem. It doesn't even pertain to the vehicle is particular. In my trunk I had moved around my spare and lug wrench, and in doing so a bottle of "Gunk's Liquid Wrench Penetrating Oil" spray had fallen over into the dip in the trunk. Once I had put everything back and drove down the road it apparently had fallen where the spray nozzle was pushed and it sprayed out all of its contents. That **** smells just like gasoline in large quantities. Anyways, thanks for the help, just glad I didn't remove my back seat for nothin.

I know exactly the plastic cap hes talking about..... i dont think it is very essential, but i really dont know. Hes talking about that clear plastic cap that goes on the fuel pressure regulator on the passenger side of the fuel rail: i always assumed it was just for protection because maybe the walls of the pressure regulator are thin.
