Description of the problem	It's been cold in ma like past winters and this is the first time this happened since owning my baja for 10 years now, which i bought new. I noticed that when i first start up my car with the heat vents open to warm it inside, the car fills with strong fuel/gas fumes. I took my car to be serviced at a subaru dealer and they checked all the fuel lines; tightened them, but could not find what is causing this problem. So now i recirculate the cabin air and don't draw in fresh air to try to keep the fumes out. It still continues to emit fumes when it's cold out, but it never happened in the past... 10 years of cold winters and now there's a problem with gas fumes? Something is very wrong and i do fear a fire.
