92 Accord EX Bad gas smell
Hello everyone. First post here so if I violate some cardinal rule, please be kind
I can drive my 92 Accord all day long at any given time and no problems. Then at some random time, I smell this very heavy fuel smell inside the car. Tonight it happened after I made aturn onto a side street. It was strong for about 3-5 minutes and then it dissapated. This has happened more than a few times. I had about half a tank of gas at the time. Any suggestions as to what this might be?? Thank you for any help anyone can send my way and thanks for the great board!

Sort of vague, but the first thing I would check would be the purge canister and purge control solinoid and associated vacuum lines. The purge solinoid is under the intake manifold on the left side as you are facing the car.
