I own a 2007 C230 which is garaged every winter. I filled the gas tank before putting the car away for the season. When I returned two week later I noticed a very strong smell of gasoline had filled the garage. After driving the car for a day and lowering the level of fuel in the tank the smell had gone. After some research I am finding this is a common problem with mercedes cars. I would not expect this to happen on a vehicle with less than 50 k on it. I also own a 07'' c280 which has the same problem, intense smell of gas after filling the tank. I feel that this strong smell of gasoline fumes provides a dangerous condition and is unsafe.

After filling up gas tank, a gas odor apear in the car cabin. After searching on google, I found out that this is a known problem with lots of mercedes cars/models and it should be a recall !.

After filling the fuel tank, a very strong odor of raw gasoline coming from rear of car. The strongest smell coming from drivers side rear wheel well, no visible leaks detected. The smell is getting worse after each fill-up. Replaced the gas cap, no change in condition. Contacted the dealer from where car was purchased and inquired about similar complaints and fixes because another of my family has the same model with similar miles and has the very same problem, the dealer was unaware of any issues with this model. Because the car is out of warranty, will need to find a repair facility to solve and correct this issue before something catastrophic happens. Also found in research that this same issue has been found in other mercedes models of the same model year.
