The last few mornings I've smelled a strong odor of fuel as my car warms up. A very, very strong odor of raw fuel is inside the car, and it seems to be coming out of the dashboard vents, and strangely enough, only on very cold morning/starts. The smell eventually goes away after 15 to 20 minutes of highway driving. I searched 3 times now for a fuel leak, and as far as I can see, there are no visible fuel leaks anywhere. I looked as good as I can, injectors & hard lines, the rubber fuel lines in the engine compartment, the quick connections near the brake master cylinder. There is no fuel on the floor near the clutch pedal, and I didn't see any leaks back at the fuel filler pipe, but I honestly didn't look too closely back there as the smell is certainly up front. I've now removed most of my personal belongings from the car and will no longer park it in my driveway, as my house adjoins the driveway. I am certain the car will soon catch fire. A call to the Subaru hotline tells me there are no defects, and all fuel lines eventually leak. In other words, tough luck on me. So, like it or not, I am making an appointment with the Subaru dealer for this safety repair. I can only hope it burns in their parking lot!.
