Hey guys, I'm always had this problem in the car that after restart I get a strong fuel smell inside the car, I check everywhere for fuel leaks, I replace all the injector seals and o rings last year and some of the hoses under the hood and I don't have any fuel leaks anyweres. I don't known were is coming from. The tank is bone dry, no leaks from there ether. I'm worry now because the smell is getting worse, just wondering am i overlooking something?. Thanks

Eddie

Leaking from the top of the tank, or maybe an evaporative emissions rubber line is off?

It's somewhat normal to get a cold start fuel smell in the winter, I used to get it all the time in the garage on my Outback. If this is really strong (like you can smell it in the cabin) I'd keep checking for leaks.

Are you getting any CELs related to fuel pressure (I think P0457 is one of them)?

No I don't get any cel at all. I'm going to drop the tank and check those lines. It seems to come from the front but no gas leak anywhere.
