Parts used:
1/4″ nylon reinforced ethenol rated fuel line
Fuel injection hose clamps
Common band clamps will work, but fuel injection clamps make a more even seal.
A common problem on Subaru’s of the early 2000’s. The weather turns cold, and you start getting a fuel vapor smell when you start the blower for heating or defrost. Usually this is a small leak in either one or two spots where a rubber hose attaches to the passenger side fuel rail. As usual, I didn’t put much time into editing this video but all the information is there. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Great video, I like your style!
Exactly my issue. Thanks.
I wonder if one can do this without removing the rail, just cut the old rubber hoses off and use lube the slip the new ones on and split the difference in over lapping the hose on the tube and clamp everything down….
What are the sizes of the sockets needed to loosen the bracket
Would this cause my check engine light to come on?
Would my 08 Outback be the same? It's only when it's cold and I use defrost.
Great video Thanks
The bracket you removed. I drilled a hole in it but every winter I go around and tighten them especially by the filter no big deal
my little hose get's wet as a mother. Exact same damn hose, 2001 outback
Do you have a part number for this?
Tysm for this video!
