2000 Impreza OBS Fuel Smell

Featured Replies

I've had off and on fuel smell from the engine for a few months.  I've checked all the fuel hoses.  The 2" on Left side was leaking a bit so I replace it.  I also change out the Left side fuel injectors while I had the rail off with some used ones I had.  

 

That helped some but I still get fuel smell.  I have also changed out the fuel filler pipe which was rusted.

 

I'm thinking new injector o-rings.  I looked at the local Subaru Deal and the 8 o-rings are over $90.  Crazy. 

 

I checked Rock Auto and found these:  Anyone have experience with them?

I ordered the A/B.  We'll see  how they are.

They installed with ease and seem to be working well.  No more fuel smell.

Time will tell.

Nice job tracking down, how did you suspect those?

 

Good grief $10 an oring, seriously!

 

I haven’t swapped many but I’ve never had issues with aftermarket fuel injector orings.

No other leaks.  GD had noted he had changed several for fuel smell.  

Thanks GD and USMB!
