I have a 2010 audi q5 that is leaking gas on the ground while engine is running while sitting still or driving down the road.. I removed the passenger rear seat which is directly on top of where the leak is coming from. I then removed the access panel for the fuel pump . Gas was sitting on top of the fuel pump in puddles. I decided to start the car with the access panel removed to see where exactly the leak was coming from and how big of leak it was. Upon starting the engine gas sprayed directly out of the top of the fuel pump's white plastic dome top, not the fuel pump flange. Perimeter. It is a large leak, it sprays like a geyser unhindered hitting the top of the access panel and running onto the ground. You can see visible cracks in the top of the fuel pump. My gas mileage which was 21 mpg per tank is now14 mpg on last fill up so my guess is about 7 gallons of gas leaks onto the ground per fill up. I am afraid to drive the vehicle in this condition and the fumes are overwhelming in the cabin of the vehicle and if you roll down the window the smell gets worse...in the pics uploaded you can see the spray and visible cracks.

My vehicle was recalled for a fuel pump issue which was repaired with tape in 2018. The fuel pump is now leaking fuel causing a fuel smell in the vehicle as well as in my garage and house while the car is parked in the garage. When I took my vehicle to be inspected and repaired I was told the original repair was not substantial enough to fix the original defect. Audi reports no new recalls on the vehicle and that there was a recall on a small selection of vehicles in the original recall. This is a hazard and could cause a fire. All vehicles in the original recall should be recalled again and repaired properly, with more than tape.

I received a notice of recall for my vehicle due to possibility of leaking fuel. Called the dealer to complete the recall in november 2016 along with an regular maintenance, took the car in and was not advised of any issues with completing either service. Picked the car up and was told that the part required for the recall was not available and that I would be called by the dealer once the part became available so the repair could be completed. It is now march of 2018 and I have yet to receive a call to schedule the repair of the recall.

Horrified mother of 2 small children. Recently noticed when driving the vehicle, a gas/fuel smell consumes the entire car. The smell was so bad it made me sick as well as set off the carbon dioxide alarm in my garage. My toddler son sits on the side where the tank is and of course that is where the smell is the strongest. I feared that a explosion would happen in my house due to smell being so strong...we finally took the SUV in and repair company stated that I had a fuel leak. He stated that the pump had a crack in it and was spraying fuel all under the car. Repair has cost me $900 to replace the fuel pump, adaptor, and rings.
