yeah, i had mine sorted by Subaru in the end - cost about £300 but didn't think that was bad for dealer prices considering its an intake manifold off job.

however, that problem only normally gives a fuel smell when the engines cold - its a duff seal on a hose that connects the fuel rails which seems to re-seal itself when warm. if you're getting the problem under hard acceleration, i'm guessing your cars already nice and hot - i which case it might be something completely different!
