Default need some help ebay parts and stuff

hello everybody I have a few questions.

first I have heard many people say to stay away from ebay parts but I am wondering if they mean ALL ebay parts or just the ones that are weirdo brands. because I am thinking about buying some tokicos off of ebay.

second does a 1994 civic SI have a low fuel light? I have seen conflicting things when I did a search some people were saying yes and others were saying no.

third there was a rat living in my vents so it smells like crap when I turn on the blower does anybody have any idea what the best method is to get the smell out without taking off the dashboard. I already took the dashboard off once to clean all the crap out but the smell lingers on lol. and I don't want to take the dashboard off again unless it is completely necessary. oh and I have tried lysol, febreeze, some air freshener I bought at the honda dealer, and some soap type thing that my friend gave me from the toyota dealership.

sorry for asking so many questions in one thread but I thought it would be annoying for me to make like 3 threads. thanks in advance.

1. Well ebay parts depends on the seller.. The weirdo Brands or aftermartket stuff depends on the quality. Sometimes you gotta pay to play.

2.No answer on the second question.

3.Have you tried vacuming out the vents.


Its just what I think.

Maybe you can suck out the smell through the vents with a vacuum and while its vacuums spray febreeze through the vents.

which would involve taking apart the dash. damn this is gonna be a bitch.

does anybody know if an ozone machine would work? I have heard that some dealerships have ozone machines that get rid of the mildew smell from AC systems.

haha that is funny. when I wrote that I was thinking of tsudo as a weirdo brand specifically. but yeah I know ebay doesn't make any parts or anything for that matter except for advertisements haha. sorry my wording was a little weird.

and YES I need to get this cow dung smell out which is the most important question haha. but yeah anybody know about those ozone machines?

yeah I know what ozone does I just need to find out if it will work for this particular thing. cuz i have seen them talking about cigarette smoke but not rat **** lol. I might put an ozone air purifier in the vents and see what it does but those things put out a much lower concentration.
