I would take care of it right now before it becomes a big problem. Also gas eats away paint, so when you take the nozzle out gas may have dripped there causing the clear coat to get eaten away and then the paint and then you have rust.

yeah i figured thats what happend. but seeing how i have work i dont have time to do it today i wanna take either a dremel tool to the small area and grind it away then prime it

[teck]

another question grinding it creats sparks in turn can creat fire should i be concerned?

i bought the deepest color red i could find to try and match the paint....its either getting repainted in the spring or sadly replaced

There's a Honda recall out on the gas filler pipe area. Maybe there's more going on there than meets the eye. Recalls never expire, so you might want to have the dealer take a look at it. No charge to you.

the recall was for the 86 87 accord not the 88 89 :(
