I was at the gas station filling my RDX and I didn’t realize the plastic near the nozzle head was cracked which must have affected the auto-stop clip from disengaging and fuel started to overflow. Luckily I was standing at the pump and caught it quick enough for fuel to only spill inside the fill area. I never noticed there is a hole there (pic attached) where the fuel appears to have drained out. Does anyone know where this drains? No fuel was spilled on the side or appears to be down in the wheel well or under the car.
There are several drains on your vehicles and that picture just reminded me of an issue that sometimes pops up. . Sun roofs also have drains. I mention this because of an error some make. Its a classic example of "out of sight, out of mind". The drain might clog up with say pieces of dried leaves, whatever. Owner, or tech at shop, decide that a quick easy cleaning of the drain could be done by blowing out the drain with an air gun. Out of sight they don't notice that the rubber hose pops off inside the bodywork out of sight. Now water or whatever leaks inside the body and you have to pull the interior apart to try to find the leak!
