Fuel vapor/smell in car, occurs during cooler weather, can't say cold as I live Georgia. Other blogs speak of 20deg. Or colder, not my case. Wondering if Subaru has one in particular fuel line that wears out quicker than others? Like Toyota's, coolant bypass hose on the backside of the engine, which I would like to think is due to manufacturer's bend. Fyi.-Today, looking for worn lines and tightening all line clamps for a start.
Thanks for any advice and direction to take,
Jeff

Check for leaks, clean throttle plate on both sides and iac hole with choke cleaner check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it.

Did all the above yesterday except pressure test. Thus far this morning all is good. Not very cold yet, high 50's, but temp is dropping today/tonight.
So far I'm good, I'll check pressure if problem persists.
Thanks for the direction,
