Gas tank leaks when filled, driving or sitting. Seal on tank to filler neck. Gave no code on the emission system and passed smoke test at repair shop. Contacted Honda headquarters. VIN number not listed on fuel tank warranty extension 11-0689. Extension on Civic 2006 to 2011.
The car keep on shutting off. Checked the fuel pump assembly on my driveway. I found out a burnt electrical connector to the fuel pump. It melted part of the fuel pump container. It's good the tank was not full. It could have blown the tank and the car. My mechanic would attest for this. I forgot to take a picture of the burnt part of the fuel pump assembly. I still have the burnt connector though.
