Tank Assembly problems of the 2004 Audi A6

Significant gas leak caused by broken gas "in tank sending units" housing and seal. Gas will leak and fill the inside of the car with fums as well as under the car. Replacement required buying a revised design sending units that include all three sending units. The price is high ~$500 and the consequences very dangerous.
