According to Porsche, it is possible that hairline cracks could develop on the filter flange of the fuel pump. If the cracks develop, a "very small amount" of petrol could leak out and cause a fuel odour to develop. Porsche, however, claims that no there are no actual incidents of this problem happening to owners.
