Many local Subaru dealers will replace the fuel lines for free. It was a factory recall. Give the dealers a call & have a chat.

Depends though with it being a JDM model, It's down to the discretion of the dealer I think?

When i first got the Bugeye i heard a lot about the fuel smell. I got concerned & gave one of the dealers a call, cant remember which one as it was a while ago. They were more than happy to sort it, but I never got round to getting upto them. I havent had the problem myself, however they were ok with my car being a import.
