Description of the problem	On jan 12 2011 my 2005 subaru impreza wrx started to have a raw fuel smell coming into the cabin area when it was cold outside no matter if it was in a garage or outside. On further inspection i could see raw fuel streaming out of the fuel lines onto a hot engine block. There is a recall for 02-03 subaru imprezas with the same problem, but it does not cover any newer models with the same fuel delivery system problems. Nothing was done to correct it by the dealer because it was not covered by the recall. It should have been covered by some type recall because of found defects in just slightly older models but the same engine configuration and fuel system.
