  1. If you've tightened the clamps but still have the smell, there's a chance that you missed some clamps. That was the case with me. When you have the problem, run the engine and get under the hood and use your nose and eyes to try and find out exactly where the leak is coming from. For me it became obvious becuase I could see the fuel dripping. But it was coming from a connection that was partially hidden that I hadn't noticed before. Good luck!
  2. I found the info about tightening the hose clamps last year, but then the weather warmed up, problem went away, and I never got out there and actually tightened them up. Well it got cold again this year and the fuel smell was back again. I went out and tightened all the clamps that were shown in the link that I posted last year: http://www.bazoomer.com/fuelline/fuelline.html But after doing this I was still getting the strong raw fuel smell. I ran the car and looked under the hood and found the fuel leak was coming from a different fuel hose on the passenger side. At that point I went around and tightened all of the fuel hose clamps that I could find. Problem fixed. So please note that the link above does not show all of the fuel hose clamps, only some of them. The ones that were leaking on my car were a little difficult to access. I had to remove a steel cover to get to the clamp screws. My leaky hose was under the steel cover in pictures
  3. I had my dealer on the phone the other day and asked about this. They said it is a common problem in cold weather and that the fuel line clamps need tightened - $100. I googled it tonight and found this guy who took pictures. http://www.bazoomer.com/fuelline/fuelline.html
