Petrol, most guys pour it into a wash bowl and have a couple of litres just sitting there- vapour coming off all the time
Brakleen, yes lots more expensive (I use around 8 cans per engine build) but lots safer
Ichi, have you heard of the industrial solvent called Zapp Wash? It's basically brake clean but renamed and alot cheaper, Marketing Chemicals distribute it. 20L, 60L or 205L containers, we use sh!tloads of it at work great stuff.

In all seriousness, might pay to put a bit of silicon grease around the sealing lip so it doesn't burn out upon first start up, some people say otherwise but it's how I've always done it.
And did you check the sealing area on the rear of the crank where the sealing lip mates against? If it's too badly worn you may need to put a wear sleeve on.

A 'real flash' crank seal? I want! Always thought my standard OEM seal was a bit boring looking..

Not sure but mines coming out of a Type RA

the only prob i had with my suby when it was rwd was lack of traction and getting stuck in my driveway where the angle changed to get onto the road.
Same here in the Legacy, open pulling out of my parents drive (slight slope) it barely gets traction at the top (mmm gotta install my LSD sometime soon!)

Haha I'll blame it on staying up til 2am. Off to work for a bit so I'll check it out

Gotcha, the cylinder looking pack eh?
-
Ah sounds likely, but no don't have a spare one, does it look the same as my old V2 WRX one? Here's a pic but can't see the igniter in it, only boost control solenoids:

My 94 BC5 started running on three or two cylinders the other day, made it back to work after a 20 minute drive, and now it won't start at all. I've pulled a couple of spark plugs and checked for spark and there's none on those two (havn't checked all cylinders).
Is there some relay or fuse which controls the ignition side of things? Or any other ideas why it would suddenly drop a few cylinders and now only be firing on one or none?
I've constantly had coil problems with this one and I'm looking at doing a coil conversion to the V3 style wasted spark, but it's parked at work so need to get it home and running first.

Does the same apply to V8 2003?

thanks for the pic that helped heaps !
unfortunately i still have mine connected so no idea why it has such a strong fuel smell . hopefully i can get it sorted/looked at on wednesday when i take it up to warkworth for a dyno/checkup .
Yeah Kent should be able to tell you what's what he's clued up on Subies. I'm next door here in Wellsford.

Its put there by Subaru to comply with emission laws overseas (not here from what I understand). Basically filters the air venting out of the fuel tank to reduce fuel vapours being let out into the atmosphere. Often people remove it to free up more space and its kinda regarded as unnecessary. No performance increase, just looks and practicality, although as a result sometimes you'll notice a strong smell of fuel when you first start your car in the morning after it's been sitting for a while or on a hot day.
Circled in red:

If your charcoal canister is unplugged/removed from your engine bay that could be the fuel smell.
320km from 45L sounds about right, that's about the same as 450km to the tank.
