2005 Volkswagen TOUAREG Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	948461
Internal NHTSA #	10482487
Manufacurer	VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	TOUAREG
Model Year	2005
File date	01/06/12
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle has been emitting an odor of gas for some time. Upon investigation, i found that the fuel filter (accessed under the rear seat but part of the fuel tank) had a 1/8" crack in the top of the filter assembly. This crack would leak gasoline while the engine was running and even after the engine stopped (likely due to the fuel system still being pressurized). Leaked gasoline was found throughout the top of the gas tank observed through two ports under the rear bench seat. I did some research on a popular touareg website and found that 1 or 2 other people have experienced the same problem. I suspect this is a fire hazard given the amount of fuel that has been leaked. And others have experienced a leak emanating from the same location.
