Default Temporary fix (fuel filter)

I started to smell some gas at the driver’s side of the vehicle, nothing dripping on the ground. Did some searching here and figured that my fuel filter dome is cracked. Picked up some triple point sockets, and confirmed the problem, there is a hairline crack. So, I did a search, and found a product that will work on gas leaks. I was thinking of trying this while I gather my parts.

Seal all sucks, and will make a horrible mess.

Isn't this what the recall is for?

I went to the website and entered my VIN #, I have no recalls pending.

I've attached a copy of the recall letter. Looks like it covers 2003-2006.
NHTSA recall 17V-576
Porsche Safety Recall AH10

Your NPD is shining as bright as the sun right now if you think I joined this site because of you.

Get help man

It shows that you went out of your way to search for and specifically target your first comment or two on my days old thread about your lover, FCP Euro, saying the problem is me without any context or rationale behind such a pointless and unhelpful post.

JB Weld works well for a crack like that, and if it were my car I would also butter a scrap of aluminum can with epoxy and lay that over top of it.
Project Farm on youtube did some testing of plastic epoxy and JB did great, the classic product even better than the version for plastic.

On the Touareg recall (for this exact problem), if it’s not cracked you slap on what is basically a big piece of super sticky Flex tape, then cover the whole well with adhesive film (kinda like tegaderm).

Gorilla Tape


My main gripe with Seal All, is that it runs like water and doesn’t stay where you want it.
