While trying to diagnose the check engine light my mechanic noticed that the fuel tank has a crack at the top of the tank which leaks gasoline when filled up. This is the same issue that has been reported and recalled for some other 2013 accords but not ours. Honda needs to issue a recall for any vehicle that this is happening to. But as it currently stands they are not.
