Consumer Description

DURING COLD WEATHER (BELOW 10 DEGREES OR SO), MY 2004 SUBARU WRX IMPREZA SMELLS VERY STRONGLY OF GASOLINE COMING FROM ENGINE BAY. THIS EVENTUALLY GOES AWAY AFTER 20 MINUTES OR SO OF DRIVING. DURING ONE EPISODE, I ACTUALLY WATCHED UNDER THE MANIFOLD ON PASSENGER SIDE AND OBSERVED GASOLINE PUDDLING UNDER THE GAS LINES! I HAVE TIGHTENED THE HOSE CLAMPS BUT THEY EVENTUALLY LEAK AGAIN. I AM ACTUALLY HESITANT TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE DURING THE WINTER MONTHS HERE IN MINNESOTA. *TR
