Man am i screwed, can someone help please
Ok here is my situation, I helped out a friend by letting him use my fuel pump to see if that was the problem, that wasn't it so i swaped mine back. Now while in the process of tring to swap mine back (2) plastice pieces and aeen rubber washer type thing came out for some ungodly reason. At first i we didn't think one of the plastice pieces belong in there so we didn't put it in. I put back the rubbe piece and the blue plastice piece. So i thought every thing was fine other that man i just used about a 1/4 tank a gas driving to the tracks hmmm. well i'm in the staging lanes waiting to go and a guy comes up to me a says "hey man i think gas is leaking from your car"
From there everything is down hill. I borrow a screw driver and look under the plate where the fuel pump is and its soaked in fuel. i try to rig it w/ zip ties 
to try and a make a tighter seal hah nice try its still squirts everywhere. Well some how that little rubber green seal that is in ther decides to rip so it was useless, thats why i think it got a lot worse from there. Thank you to Mauijammer for trying to help 
and his friends. But nothing worked it cost me about a 1/2 tank a gas just to get home. Glad i went to chevron to fill up.
Ok enough of me crying my little sob story, now here is my cry for help. I have looked at subaruparts.com and can not seem to find anything that shows those parts anywhere. I can't even figure out if i had the correct parts, how it goes back in properly so it won't leak anymore. sigh So for those that know me who look at this, man do i have bad luck w/ my suby
. So please help me anyone or point me in the right direction. Thank you

Ok for those who have no idea what i'm talkin about here is a Pic. I'm pretty sure that i'm gonna have to go to the dealer ship for this, but if anyone has a spare suby just sitting around and wouldn't mind me stealing this part and its assembly let me know. LOL

put in match in it
you sure picked one of the toughest smells to take out.
might i suggest you take all the seats out for starters
second anything in the car that is porus(spelling)
basically you wanna remove anything that is capable of being a "sponge"
i used to have a detailing business. . . the smell of gas is not easy- if u wanna do a job good and right - go that route.
if you don't wanna go that route. shampoo everything. then open all four doors and fan blast it overnight. having an extractor would be very helpful.
hope that helps gasboy
