Fuel On Floor

SVRA42.8 · 01-10-2005, 09:27 AM

Hey guys i have a 97 2.8Q and i just filled up on gas. I found a puddle of gas on the opposit side of where i filled. It continued to come out and then eventually stopped after about an hour. It was dripping. When i checked this morning there was no more puddle. Does anyone have any ideas? I think it might have been that i overfilled; the problem was that it was on the other side from where i filled up. To be more specific, i noticed it was comming from under a heat sheild on the drivers side. Now that it has stoped i think i overfilled and it just traveled accross. Hope this isnt a stupid question since i am a bit concerned.

yeah.. um.. don't even drive to your dealer.. don't drive the car at all if you've got a fuel leak. call a tow truck company who knows what they're doing and have it towed to the dealer

that doesnt sound like overfilling ... i'm not sure about on your A4 but both my jetta and allroad have a little drain right underneith the hole where the nozle goes. if you overfill, itll trickle out on the right side of the car.
