 Description of the problemI have owned a 1997 vw eurovan camper for 3 years. It is only driven half a dozen times a year and is garage stored. Two years ago, upon start up, i noticed the smell of fuel (gasoline) and found it spraying from a fuel filter connection beneath the vehicle. I took it to a vw dealer, who replaced the crimp connections to the filter. Now again last month, the same problem has recurred. The leak appears to be coming not from the crimped fuel-line, but from some sort of quick-connect type of fitting that connects to the lower filter. Note that the problem only seems to occur upon start-up in the morning, but disappears some time later, so that when the vehicle is taken in to a dealer, there is no leak to be observed. From looking on the internet, i have found that 1993 eurovans were subject to a recall in canada for leaking fuel lines, but nothing ever in the us. Evidently, the problem is still ongoing as i have read dozens of complaints and postings on the internet that described fuel leaks here in the us, some of which indicate fuel leak-related fires have completely burned eurovans to the ground. I have also read that vw dealers are denying there is even a problem.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
