If you have a puddle of gasoline, I don't think you should spray it with anything.

Or do you mean you have a problem of some sort with the gas pedal in the car?

I don't know if I'd be spraying that with much of anything either.

I'd suggest you resubmit your question.

Since you hear your pedal squeel, I guess the source isinside the cabin.

Try to get your head (eyes and ears), where your foot would be when you drive ... practically stand on your head ... legs near the head-rest.

Observe what is causing the squeel. I would only suggest using wd-40 to clean out, and sparingly use lithum based grease. If you over lubricate, it becomes a dust magnet.

Just hope your up-side down picture does not get published.

I am not really certain what you are describing. You sprayed the gas pedal? With what? Where is the puddle? Inside the car? Are you confusing PUDDLE and PEDAL?

If you have a gasoline puddle issue with an 04 I would take it to the dealer. It is under warranty isn't it? I would not drive more than i had to if I had fuel puddling anywhere. If the fuel puddle is on the inside I would have the car towed to the dealer. However, there shouldn't

If you have a squeeking issue with the PEDAL, a little bit of WD40 should work.

Could also be your accelerator cable and not just or rather than the actual accelerator pedal in the passenger cabin. I get squeals on occasion and I just spray some WD40 on the cable near the throttle body as there is some friction there.
