Consumer Description

THERE IS A SMELL OF GAS ON MY 2002 WRX FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AFTER I START THE CAR. I'VE READ ON SOME INTERNET FORUMS THAT THERE MAY BE AN INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN ONE OF THE GAS HOSES AND THE GAS RAILS. THE SMELL SEEMS WORST WHEN IT IS COLD OUT. IT IS VERY NOTICABLE WHEN I HAVE OUTSIDE AIR VENTING ENABLED. IT SEEMS ODD THAT I WOULD EVER SMELL GASOLINE AND FEAR THIS MAY BE DANGEROUS.*AK
