Strong gasoline odor inside the car while being driven and while parked inside my garage resulting from fuel pump leak. Odor is worse when fuel tank is full.

Start smelling gasoline and every day was worse. I bring the A6 for the recall but I just realize that Audi did the 20ar but I remember prior to this recall the car had the 24bz. I tried to call them and my vim soes noy show for this recall. The A6 is with Audi livermore they want me to pay to unmount the gas tank to procedure with a diagnostic. I just know that my car is leaking gas and no response that why tgis happend the car or the tank hasn't received a damaged at all so how this happend. Other option that Audi want is charge 3500 for fix and they pay the 20% wich its not right. Why this Audi A6 2013 3.0 doesn't match like the other A6 for the recall repair U can look video and photos on this link https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sbq6uf4L11hi6bo/aadhnwhal8xkvqpldvhmlj8ua?dl=0

Fuel hose appears to have deteriorated from the inside. Small pinhole leak appeared and allowed for gasoline to spill onto hot engine. Current Volkswagen recall 24bz does not appear to include my VIN, although characteristics are exactly as described in recall. I believe the recall needs to be expanded to include my VIN. The vehicle was in motion and the strong smell of gasoline started to permeate through the cabin. As I investigated the cause, I found the crack in the fuel hose. Subsequently, I cut the hose at the failure point and found deep cracks all along the internal layer of hose, outer layer appeared in tact except where the hole emerged.
