It’s leaking gas.
Located between the rear axel and the pass. rear door. Possibly an accumulator or a pressure regulator for the injection system. I went to the sometimes-helpful-usually-clueless guys at both Autozone and Advance and they had no idea what it was, and guessed it was a gas filter…which it is not.
I really need my car back in action. Help?
Specs: 1992 Subaru Loyale wagon 4WD
Looks like a pressure regulator

X2
looks like it to me
I am inclined to agree, but that image from autozone doesn’t look like the part on my car. It has far more inlets than the one that I’m looking at.
Should I just order it and see if it somehow fits on differently?
not really any other parts listed that match the description

YES! you are correct. Apparently, according to the sweet dudes at Northtown, I can bypass it…but may have to let the fuel pump prime for cold starts. I’d frankly rather have the car just start normally but bypassing it will save me $60 some odd or so. Now lets hope I can do this without dumping over 5 gallons of gas into my driveway. :noob: in the gas line splicing.
^^who did you call at northtowne 93kgt works in the parts department lol

just take small vise grips and pinch the hose gently on both sides of the regulator, pull off both hoses and stick a small piece of copper tubing in there and double hose clamp it on each side. At least, thats what i would do
just weld it
