1 Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2019

Noticed a strong gasoline smell in the enclosed garage where the vehicle is kept. Researched the issue online and discovered several instances where the pressurized fuel filter assembly on top of the fuel tank (left side, beneath second row rear seat) develops cracks in the plastic and emits a fine spray of fuel. I removed the second row seat and discovered a pool of liquid gasoline on top of the pressurized fuel filter. Audi has an existing recall under NHTSA campaign number: 16v660000, which merely "installs a butyl rubber band to protect the pump" and which I have already had performed at the dealership. This is a different issue in that the fuel filter itself develops cracks and fissures that allow pressurized fuel to escape. In the picture you can see that the electrical connector appears to be immersed in liquid gasoline.
