1 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 07/14/2016

After filling fuel tank strong smell of gasoline. Other complaints of this nature in your system. Recall already issued for other model Mercedes Benz with same issue.

2 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2011

I smelled gasoline when my two cars were parked in the garage. This occurred only after filling the gas tanks (no topping off. ) I thought it was my 2010 mbz but the dealer checked and found no problem. I had my 2004 mbz checked. The dealer told me I needed a new gas tank, because it was leaking. My car has 80k miles and looks new; garaged, serviced and never in an accident and has no leaks. A new gas cap did not solve the problem. Over three quarters of a tank does not emit any odor, so I don't fill the tank completely. I feel the fumes could be a safety hazard inside a garage containing a hot water heater.
