After starting the car, particularity in colder weather, there is a strong smell of gasoline in the passenger compartment. Upon engine inspection, there is a noticeable gasoline "wetness" under the fuel injector. A number of visits to a local dealer in white plains produced "we smell it but cannot find it" response. New clamps on the rubber house under the fuel injector where "wetness" was observed did not prevent the problem. The problem appears progressive. Currently (one year later), the smell of fuel is constant.

There have been 2 fuel hose failures and 1 recent hose recall. I believe there was either a defective purchase of fuel lines or defective specifications for the early 95 model. The 1st failure was for porosity where the fuel seeped through the hose when it was cold but sealed after warmup. The company was notified but declined. I have a copy of the letter sent. The most recent failure was a 1/16 th hole in the line to the fuel injector. The engine compartment was bathed in 10 gallons of gas over 7 miles before stopping to investigate the odor. There was also a recall for the filler tank hose due to defective material. I suspect the defective material or spec was used for all fuel lines in the early 95 model.
