20lgt06 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 hey anyone know of this issue -- my 07 has 13k miles on it and im getting a rich fuel smell when i put the outside ventilation on. When im driving its non noticable, but when im at a stop its horrible. My 02 wrx had the same issue (but subaru found nothing) It did this with an aftermarket bov and the stock one. the only thing im running is a DP but it was doing it before it was installed. Plus would they still service my car with an autospeed downpipe under warrenty? Anyone have this problem with 05+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_sharp Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Started noticing this myself after my trip to Dallas. The exact problems you've described... at a stop it is very strong but not very noticable when cruising. Did you ever find what the issue was? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icrackedcorn Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 friend's OLD camry had the exact same issue resolved itself somehow... it might have been something involving the car being partially sumbmerged... but i cant remember if it went away before that obedience to church and state is subjugation to the unjust authority of men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_sharp Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I've been searching this for about an hour now and it seems to be a very common problem but nobody has said anything about a fix. A few early cases were from a poor oil filter seal but most dealers have blamed it on bad gas. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwiener2 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I wouldn't call it a 'common' problem both links you posted are about exhasut smells...not unburnt gas smells My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 If you read thoroughly they all occur under the same circumstances. How people describe smells is subjective. Describing a smell may be tough but the conditions at which they occur are all the same. The smell I have could fall into either category. Furthermore, many, many members chimed in claiming the same issues in the two links posted. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I have noticed the smell of partially burnt exhaust fumes entering the cabin whenever the car is at rest and the AC intake is set to pull in fresh air. "partially burnt" ... insinuating a fuel smell. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
