I noticed a strong smell of diesel fuel while driving my car. Next I noticed smoke coming out from under the hood. I took my car to autohaus in royal oak, mi where they diagnosed the problem as a leak in the return fuel line.

My 2001 Volkswagen Golf was manufactured on 12/2000. The fuel pump supply line nipple cracked and had been leaking gas under the rear seat. It was taken to camelback Volkswagen in phoenix arizona where it was purchased as a new. The service department acknowledged this was a common problem and that they replace a lot of the fuel pumps due to nipple cracks but Volkswagen does not recognize this as a recall or safety issue despite a recall notice for Golfs manufactured the same year with the same safety issue as my vehicle. The fuel line tension caused the nipple to crack off. Volkswagen refused to repair this as a defect. The old part is available.

Smell of gas heavy inside the car. Smell equally as bad if windows are rolled down. Gradual decrease in the miles to gallon. Took to dealership while under warranty. They replaced the fuel component that sits under the passenger side of back seat. Happened again one year and 1 month later. Car then out of warranty. Took to private mechanic. Fixed problem again. Told both times it was repaired that a cigarette on the road way could have cause car to explode due to gas spewing out of car. On the component that had to be replaced (im not sure of the exact name) there was a plastic "nipple" that comes out of component and a plastic tube is attached there. ""nipple" had cracked almost completely off and gas was spewing out every time I pressed on the gas. Car was driven normal and not involved in any accidents. Perhaps dry rotting of plastic?.
