February 12, 20188 yr 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?

March 25, 20188 yr Author They installed with ease and seem to be working well. No more fuel smell. BECK/ARNLEY 1580893 Time will tell.
March 26, 20188 yr 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. Edited March 26, 20188 yr by idosubaru
March 26, 20188 yr Author No other leaks. GD had noted he had changed several for fuel smell. Thanks GD and USMB!
