On my old sedan the gas filler neck rotted out b/c there’s a shield that traps dirt and water right up against it. I don’t know if the wagons are the same way, but you might want to check it.

I forgot that I replaced the filler neck too, a friend of mine has a 1999 outback and had the same problem.
