Default Couple Problems

well first is... i got a 94 accord lx/ex, and for some reason, the exhaust rattles, like under the shifter, possibly further up toward the motor... the car has a new exhaust on it from the cat - back... also tightened down the heat shield, and even added a couple of screws to the heatshield... but the problem still happens... it only does the rattle thing, usually above 2000 RPMS... IDK

second problem... i got fuel leaking from the tank, and its got to be near the top of the tank, beacuse its leaking in a few different spots, which i know cant be the fuel line, because its coming from a couple spots... it seems when im low on gas, it doesnt leak, and when i just filled it up... it happens... also, when i park the car, itll leak to a certain point, and then stop, as if there is a hole in the top of the tank.... could this be???? THANKS IN ADVANCE...

there is a hole in the top of the tank where the fuel pump goes in - maybe it's leaking from the seal there, or perhaps your fuel return line has a hole in it. you should be able to check that area from inside your trunk.

the rattle is probably the cat heat shield. just take it off and throw it away.

that exhaust buzz has a service bulletin, they have tighter springs and different bolts for the intermediate pipe. You might be able to get some big washers under the springs and shut it up.
As far as the fuel leak; an old plumber told me that liquid runs downhill, so you can just follow the trail up to find the leak.

well as far as the fuel leak... i saw a tank on ebay for $69.99 + $30.00 shipping, but i noticed the gentleman selling it, lives like 10 minutes away... so im just gonna buy one, and replace the tank, and new fuel filter... and double check the lines... i noticed the tank has had a hole before, because i see a hole clogged up, now that i actually looked at it... and as far as the exhaust buzz, where am i putting in new springs or washers???? which part??? thanx in advance...
