Description of the problem	My 2004 subaru impreza wrx has a strong fuel smell in the cabin when the engine is first started. This happens when it's cold out (mostly below 20 degrees). I have an appointment to get it diagnosed at the dealership, but upon searching the internet, it looks like there are many owners of this car that experience this same problem. There was a technical bulletin for the 2002 model year addressing this issue but it apparently hasn't gone away.
