Re: Fuel tank & piping diagrams here
On mine, It would leak fuel bad until 1/2 tank and it would stop. Couldn't figure it out, so son took tank down as a last reasort and bingo...the culpret a piece of gravel about an 1 inch big had gotten thrown up and lodged between the plastic tank and the underbody of the car and rubbed a hole in it. Not wanting to spend the big money for a new fuel tank my son took some "cast flash" plastic from the edges of the fuel tank and made shavings out of them, used a heat pencil and melted a patch onto the hole, then spray sealed it. That repair lasted almost 2yrs, then started to leak again. This time though I could spend the time to find a used gas tank and was able to find one for $50 and had him install that. Never fun to do once, let alone twice! Again, it just cost me a couple cases of beer.
Always nice to have a Subaru tech in the family if you can't do things on your own.
