There is a fuel line inside the car that had a pressure leak. An entire tank of gas emptied, mostly to the inside of the car where the fuel lines run inside the rear drivers side of car floor. My 18 year old daughter was driving and this can not be safely repaired or remove the harmful gas fumes in carpet and seats unsafe still to drive, unsafe to have these lines run inside the car.
When the temperature drops below roughly 20 degrees fahrenheit, a strong fuel odor fills the cabin. Flatirons Subaru in boulder, CO, could not find the problem, but an independent Subaru mechanic identified the problem instantly. He said the fuel line has a small rubber mid-section which contracts with cold weather and produces a leak.
Evap code tested by dealership and showed cracked fuel cut valve. This is emission related and should be covered by 8 year 80k mile warranty. They say its not and want $600 to replace the valve.
The fault indicators came on and the error code p2441 was present both at the first occurrence and at the second occurrence at 105,000 miles. At the second occurrence the price for fixing the problem was set at $2123. At this price and guessing at the price of other parts the car's replacement value should come to around $200,000. This is a common problem pervasive to all Subarus, not just Foresters, featuring a turbo charged engine.
