Known issues on the 1985 Accord. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the fuel filler and breather pipes: if the plastic coating on these pipes is damaged, salt water can work in underneath it and corrode the steel pipe, eventually rusting through and allowing gasoline fumes and fuel to leak near a possible ignition source. Owners have filed 16 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that fuel system are here.
Whether you're inspecting the filler neck for corrosion or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1985 Accord.
IF THE PLASTIC COATING OF THE FUEL FILLER AND/OR BREATHER PIPE IS DAMAGED, SALT WATER MAY ACCUMULATE BETWEEN THE PLASTIC COATING AND THE STEEL PIPES, AND THE ACCUMULATION COULD CAUSE CORROSSION WHICH
GASOLINE FUMES AND/OR FUEL LEAKAGE THROUGH THE FILLER ORBREATHER PIPES COULD RESULT IN A FIRE WHEN E
CORRODED FILLER OR BREATHER PIPES WILL BE CLEANED AND RECOATED OR REPLACED AS NEEDED.
