Legacy 4-cyl

Dealer found leaking fuel hoses.roblem sratred out with a very strong smell of gasoline fumes inside the car when the temperature outside gets below about 30 degrees F. this problem started last winter and the dealer said it was "bad gas". this year the fumes were much worse so I started looking on-line for a solution. I found others had the problem too and the solution was to tighten loose and leaking fuel hoses. This week my dealer found two leaking fuel hoses in my car and seemed to be aware that the problem is wide-spread.fuel leaks seem pretty serious and could cause a fire.
