Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of BMW 328

Fuel tank leak. Car started smelling like gas. Noticed after pumping gas - gas starting pouring / leaking out of fuel tank in daughters car on left side. Took to shop, said entire fuel tank and was told entire tank with fuel hose pipe would need to be replaced due to crack in tank / fuel pipe. Shop said should not be happening and is probably faulty. Expensive repair, BMW should recall the 3 series along with the other fuel tank / fuel systems that they recalled for the 5 and 7 series. Extremely dangerous and hazardous for these to be on the road.

Upon a complete refill of the vehicle with fuel, raw gasoline was found leaking down the tank and puddling under the car. Diagnostic inspection upon lowering the fuel tank found a defective "dummy port" seal at the top of the tank. This port was used in early models for emission control sensing. The cap over the seal was not properly sealed allowing fuel to spill out the top of the tank. When in motion this fuel blows onto the hot muffler and poses a potential for catastrophic fire.
