Default Bugeyes with the fuel smell when cold

Anyone interested in joining me buying the fuel pipe from the states to save on the shipping costs. The seller is selling them for $11.96 but shipping is $40. This still works out cheaper than the price from my local Subaru dealer who want £112+VAT just for the pipe.

Here is the ebay auction http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4001585032...84.m1438.l2649

If anyone else is interested I will see about getting a decent shipping + part cost.

I had mine fixed last winter at a Subaru Dealers. Just contact your local dealer, speak to the service department and tell them about the problem and they'll fix it as it is a recall problem, only happens when the fuel pipes contract because of the cold. Get it fixed now because it'll get a lot worse when it gets really cold !!!

Its been a recall for the past couple of years. A few Subaru dealerships still do it. There was a thread about this on here a while back
