Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Dt: the contact detected a strong odor of gasoline in the garage. the contact inspected the generator and his wife's vehicle in which nothing was found. when the contact placed vehicle back into the garage he noticed a gasoline stain where vehicle was parked. he took the vehicle to a subaru dealer, who noticed the leak immediately which was coming from the filler neck of the gasoline storage tank assembly on the inside of the vehicle from where gasoline gas pump nozzle goes into the gas tank itself. this was considered a common problem because it was plastic and breaking down. the part was on back order at four separate subaru dealers, the filler neck part number was 42066fa030. out of fear of an ignition source, such as an explosion and death the vehicle was parked outside of the garage. the contact added this was the same part that was used in the 1995-1997 subaru legacy vehicles. the contact owns a 1995 subaru legacy wagon. *ak
