Where's that statistic from? Due to enormous liability exposure for
fuel leak problems, they are assuredly reported by the auto companies
to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for voluntary
recall. However, the recall database on NHTSA's site does not show
that fuel leaks are that prominent in recalls, and among those
recalls, deterioration caused by the fuel itself is not a factor at
all. But rather other assorted problem irrelevant to the Europa
(except for assembly line errors).
