problem #1

Legacy

  • 114,000 miles
Fuel smell in car when temp, is below ~20 F. recall in 2001 and service bulletin in WRX in 2002-03. But not for this model. Smell is overwhelming and fuel leak is very dangerous. Soa says it is not a problem for this part. Car although it matches service bulletin to the dot. Taking to dealership tomorrow to get fuel line clamps looked at, possibly tightened. Can't duplicate issue unless very cold.
