Description of the problem	The smell of gasoline inside the car is unbearable, i saw leaks from the bottom, running down the gas tank, so i removed the back seat, and found that the top of the fuel pump was cracked in many parts, and fuel comes out, non stop, through those cracks. This is not supposed to happen with the fuel pumps. It is an extremely dangerous issue, specially when the electrical connexion are right there. A little spark can be catastrophic. A few years ago, volvo had a recall on this exact issue. I think vw should do it also. God knows how many lives are in danger right now. Mostly children that ride in the back seats. I am trying to cover the cracks with a paste, but it seems it is not working. The gasoline keeps coming out even when the car is parked and off for a long time, i disconnected the pump, and it does not stop. I did not take pictures before i put the paste, but even with the paste, the gas is coming out through it.
