During a very cold day I felt very strong gasoline smell right after start in my 2002 Subaru Forester S. I looked in the engine compartment and I saw gasoline O one of the rubber hoses connecting 2 fuel lines. The smell disappeared after the engine warmed up, but reappeared after the car stayed outside for a couple of hours. The car did the same thing a few years ago during very cold temperatures. At that time, the mechanic at the dealership tightened the clamps holding the rubber hose. Rubber hose.
