1 Fuel Injection Rail problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2011

At temperatures below 15f, raw fuel (gasoline) leaks from fuel rail and fuel supply lines at multiple locations onto the engine. This is due to loose hose clamps, rubber hose degradation, and metal fuel line degradation. (note: this car is mechanically identical to 2004 Subaru impreza wrx. ).

2 Fuel Injection Rail problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2008

On cold mornings there's a raw fuel smell indicating, at best, vapors escaping and at worst liquid fuel spillage. A peek down between the intake manifold near the fuel rail shows no pooling, but, some kind of residue on the screw/clamp holding the hose to hardline.
