Gasoline fumes are inside and outside the vehichle after filling the tank. Mercedes agreed to warranty this issue for 15 years on the e-class and cls-class in ea 13-003. These components are the same on this model (clk). The investigation should be reopened and include all effected models.

Very strong gasoline smell coming from under the driver side rear seat especially after filling gas tank. Mercedes agreed to warranty this issue for 15 years on the e-class and cls-class. Why didn't mercedes and NHTSA include this model (clk) that has the same problem with the same components?.

There is a strong gas smell coming from the vehicle especially after filling up the tank. It was inspected at fletcher jones Mercedes Benz dealer and the leak was found at the fuel tank filter, level sensor, and 2 seal rings. Due to the cost, I did not have the vehicle repaired at the dealer but at a local shop specializing in mb. Cost for the repair was $836. 70. I am reporting this late for purposes of safety and trending.

Fuel leakage/puddling out of top of left fuel sending unit, most notable after filling tank. Noticed at left rear tire well of car on outside only. Initially thought that the gasket on the sending unit was faulty (fuel staining noted on top of sending unit)so replaced gasket with initial improvement of problem. After several months problem appeared to recur but now clearly worsening. Fuel smell had until recently only been noticeable after parking in garage after filling tank, most recently noticeable in open parking lot after filling tank. Improves when tank less than 3/4 full. Recently removed inspection cover under left rear seat about 30 minutes after filling tank. Fuel appears to leak out from under the electric connection on top of the 2" diameter plastic disk, or at the edge of the disk, on the top of the sending unit. A 1-2 ml puddle of fuel develops within 30 minutes of filling the tank.
