| Description of the problem | It has been much colder than usual here in tennessee and i have been having a very strong fuel smell inside the cabin of my 2004 subaru impreza wrx. It has happened every time i have driven over the past three days and does seem to go away when i accelerate but i have come to believe that is because the fuel vapor is being blown away by the moving of the air around the engine compartment while driving. As soon as i slow of come to a stop there is a strong raw fuel smell again. |
