| Gasoline filler tube on subaru legacy models (1994 & 1997) rust out and cause very serious danger from possible fire/explosion due to leaking fuel. this appears to be a very common problem for subaru owners and costly ($350+) to repair. this part was replaced on both a 1994 and a 1997 subaru legacy and the repair shop indicated that this is a common problem that they have dealt with quite often. i feel the problem is very dangerous and should be addressed by the manufacturer. *tr | |||
