The original article which covered both mk3 and mk4 cars has been replaced with generation specific articles. I changed a lot of wording, added some more pics, verified links to parts, and added a video of diesel vs gasoline vapor fires. Although it's important to make sure all fuel vapors are quickly evacuated, it does show that gasoline vapors are more flammable than diesel vapors at room temperature/pressure with an open flame.
The mk5 writeup was always separate but added notes and part number for the 2009 Jetta. I suspect the 2010 Golf fuel filter will probably be the same procedure since it's the same engine.

On a totally unrelated topic, when old aircraft carriers used to carry gasoline for their airplanes, they flooded the fuel tanks with CO2 to prevent explosions.
