I purchased the vehicle used from a private party on 10/21/17 with 76,860 miles. I filled the tank with gas, parked it my garage, door closed. Next morning there a very strong odor of raw gas. A mercedes dealer confirmed through diagnostics and a smoke test that both sending units and seals were defective, and needed to be replaced.

The vehicle stalled, engine quit, on a busy side street. The driver pulled over on the dirt side of the street. Restarts were attempted to no avail. The engine will idle for a couple of seconds then shutdown. It sounded like fuel starvation. The fuel indicator showed 4 bars or a little under half tank. The fuel tank was filled with 5 gallons of gasoline where the vehicle started fine and driven home. The cause was found out to be a faulty fuel indicator. It later freezes on half full even if it is filled to full tank at the gas station. Fuel gauge readings are incorrect and intermittent. Research from nadaguides on this vehicle revealed us NHTSA campaign id 08v303000 and Mercedes Benz recall no. 2008 07000, regarding incorrect software calibration number coding. However, this vehicle's VIN does not show any recall or service bulletin.

When the gas tank is filled up fuel is leaking from the top of the tank and there is a strong odor of gasoline in the garage. After the car is driven and a few gallons of fuel are burned, the smell is no longer noticeable. The repair facility said the fuel sending unit and seals need to be replaced.
