Two problems related to tank assembly have been reported for the 1999 Mercedes Benz E320. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On 3 occasions pumping gas in the last 4 months I have had problems with gasoline spewing out of the tank after I remove the pump nozzle. It was not a simple failure of the pump to turn off. It seemed like air pressure built up much like pumping up an air canister to spray weed killer on a yard. The gasoline covered my arm and sprayed onto the pump. Each occasion was at a different station and all of the stations were relatively new. It does not happen at our regular service station.
Fuel tank has a design problem. When consumer is filling up vehicle, after the fill up, and extra 4. 7 gallons of gasoline can be added additionally, this gasoline is pumped into tank and charcoal canister and lines, due to design consumer experienced a large amount of gas expelling out of the tank.
