millhouse Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hey guys, I have a 85 Subie Brat EA81.. The other day it was parked in the sun for about 3 hours and when I was about to get in and take off, I smelled gasoline like crazy. I looked around and noticed that a bunch of gas was dripping from the back of the vehicle. It was actually running down the side of the car where the gas cap is. I took the gas cap off and it released a ton of pressure, but solving the "leaking" problem. It has not happened again since then, but certainly drew some concern. Is there a venting issue or something of the sorts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
