Any of those lines would leak regardless of how much fuel is in the tank. (At least while the engine is running)

If it only leaks when the tank is above a certain level, that sounds like the tank itself is leaking.

I agree, this sounds like the tank.

Please use caution and drain the gas tank of all fuel. I recommend using an electric pump to take it out safely, I got one from harbor freight for $20 that I use to pump trans fluid. Garden hose fits to one side, for the other you'll need a ****** valve and some hosing

I forget what years had a drain bolt for the gas tank, I know the 3rd gens (86-89) did.

I found out some very disturbing news. I went to see what the dealer would give me for a trade in. They pulled the carfax and found out the vehicle was declared a total loss and should have a salvage title. However my title was clean I had no idea. The dealer said it's illegal for me to sell it this way. Really angry and disappointed. They offered me 400 for the car.

How did you acquire this accord? Go back to seller or go to small claims court.

good luck

It was an online auction. Going to call the dmv tomorrow and figure out this title. It was sold as a clean title but I'm not sure what I can do.
