    I have a 1990 accord, manual 5 speed. Whenever I fill the tank with
    gas, it leaks somewhere until it gets close to 1/2 empty. My question
    is, what is the best way to fix the leak?
    Thanks

    The gas filler neck overflow tube is rusted. Remove the plastic inner
    fender liner and you'll see it.

    Agreed, that's most likely... and if that is the case, it's probably a factory
    recall item, and your local dealer should fix it for free.

    Actually, I can't find that one listed as a recall for the '90 Accord, but it is
    a recall item on the 3rd-gen ('86-'89) Accords - see here:

    You can always call the dealer or stop by, and have them run the VIN number, and
    they'll tell you what recalls, if any, apply to your car.
