fuel leak

[Blazingblacksmith]

Hi all. My 2010 diesel Outback has a fuel leak and I cant see anywhere what the part is called that its leaking from. It is leaking behind the tank , above the rear near side wishbone. There is a metal bulb with a pipe in at the top and out at the bottom. It looks like that has corroded but what is it called? Any help would be much appreciated. Also has anyone replaced one before and is it a nightmare to get at it? Looks very tight up in  there.

Thanks

Jim

Hi mate bit of a longshot but did you manage to find out what this part was ?

[Blazingblacksmith]

Found the details sent through from the dealers. Its marked in the first picture and was part 42084A. Easy to get but a bugger to install. Best of luck with it.

Hi, can anyone tell me where to buy this part in the UK? I've got the very same diesel leak when the car isn't running,  but doesn't leak while driving!

Has anyone resolved this in UK I think it's the fuel filter

Hey guys.. i solved it.. it´s damper fuel assembly.. part number is 42086AJ090 and i could get one only at official subaru dealer.. it costs me arround 95€.. if it´s really rusted.. there are 2 10M nuts but really hard to unscrew.. so i just ripped this out, unscrew 8M screw on new one and just fitted the tamper in place.. hoses are strong enough to just hold it in place.. so next time you´ll change it.. it´s gonna be very easy :)
