Default Audi engineers are pure geniuses!
Have you guys ever noticed the small hole underneath the gas fill-up when you're punping gasoline?

I was filling up the tank and overfilled...next thing I know theres gas coming out from UNDER the car...I'm like what the hell?

That small hole funnels overflow gas through the wheel well to prevent it from flowing down the fender...like what I've had happen on other cars.

Pure genius! I love you Audi!

Default actually what happens on other cars is that the fuel overflows at the top of the neck and down to
the ground under the car.. that hole is as much for fuel as it is for water.

Default Didn't work for me. Flowed down the fender into a giant puddle before I realized it.
Got a 5 dollar gas card out of the deal, though. Good for 1 gallon of gas in 2004!
