FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE OWNED A 1997 VW EUROVAN CAMPER FOR 3 YEARS. IT IS ONLY DRIVEN HALF A DOZEN TIMES A YEAR AND IS GARAGE STORED. TWO YEARS AGO, UPON START UP, I NOTICED THE SMELL OF FUEL (GASOLINE) AND FOUND IT SPRAYING FROM A FUEL FILTER CONNECTION BENEATH THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO A VW DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE CRIMP CONNECTIONS TO THE FILTER. NOW AGAIN LAST MONTH, THE SAME PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. THE LEAK APPEARS TO BE COMING NOT FROM THE CRIMPED FUEL-LINE, BUT FROM SOME SORT OF QUICK-CONNECT TYPE OF FITTING THAT CONNECTS TO THE LOWER FILTER. NOTE THAT THE PROBLEM ONLY SEEMS TO OCCUR UPON START-UP IN THE MORNING, BUT DISAPPEARS SOME TIME LATER, SO THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TAKEN IN TO A DEALER, THERE IS NO LEAK TO BE OBSERVED. FROM LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND THAT 1993 EUROVANS WERE SUBJECT TO A RECALL IN CANADA FOR LEAKING FUEL LINES, BUT NOTHING EVER IN THE US. EVIDENTLY, THE PROBLEM IS STILL ONGOING AS I HAVE READ DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS AND POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET THAT DESCRIBED FUEL LEAKS HERE IN THE US, SOME OF WHICH INDICATE FUEL LEAK-RELATED FIRES HAVE COMPLETELY BURNED EUROVANS TO THE GROUND. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT VW DEALERS ARE DENYING THERE IS EVEN A PROBLEM. *TR
